• Current version: 0.6.0

Usage

Basic Setup

1. Install the node following the installation guide
2. Configure your Marketing Architects API credentials
3. Add the Marketing Architects node to your workflow
4. Select the desired resource (Brand, Text, Image, Video, Collage, or Project) and operation
5. Configure the operation parameters and execute your workflow

Using Sora Video Generation

The Sora video operations enable a complete workflow for AI-powered video creation:

#### 1. Create Video with Sora

Generate videos using OpenAI’s Sora model with the following parameters:

• Prompt (required): Describe the video you want to generate
• Model: Choose between Sora 2 (default) or Sora 2 Pro
• Size: Select resolution – 1280×720 (720p), 1920×1080 (1080p), or 720×1280 (portrait)
• Duration: Choose video length – 4, 8 (default), 12, or 16 seconds
• Options: Optionally add input reference for additional control

#### 2. Get Sora Video Status

Check the generation status of your video by providing the video ID returned from the creation step.

#### 3. Get Sora Video URL

Once your video generation is complete, retrieve the download URL using the video ID.

Example Workflow:

1. Use “Create Video with Sora” to start generation → Returns video ID
2. Use “Get Sora Video Status” to monitor progress → Check if completed
3. Use “Get Sora Video URL” to download → Retrieve final video URL

Development

Prerequisites

• Node.js 20.15 or higher
• npm package manager

Run an initial build and make it linkable to n8n

npm run build
npm link

List nodes and credentials in package.json

"n8n": {
  "n8nNodesApiVersion": 1,
  "credentials": [
    "dist/credentials/MarketingArchitectsApi.credentials.js"
  ],
  "nodes": [
    "dist/nodes/MarketingArchitects/MarketingArchitects.node.js"
  ]
}

Link build to n8n

In the nodes directory within your n8n installation
cd ~/.n8n/nodes
node-package-name is the name from the package.json
npm link n8n-nodes-marketing-architects-node

Start n8n and see your node

n8n start

Development Commands

Build the project
npm run build
Watch for changes during development
npm run dev
Format code
npm run format
Lint code
npm run lint
Fix linting issues
npm run lintfix

Restart n8n to see your changes

n8n start

Adding New Features

1. Create New Operation Files

When adding new operations, create corresponding files in the nodes/MarketingArchitects/ directory:

Example: Adding a new "Analytics" resource
touch nodes/MarketingArchitects/Analytics.ts

2. Update Main Node File

Add your new resource and operations to MarketingArchitects.node.ts:

// Import your new operation fields
import { analyticsFields } from './Analytics';
// Add to properties array
properties: [
	// ... existing resources
	{
		displayName: 'Analytics',
		name: 'analytics',
		value: 'analytics',
	},
	// ... existing operations
	...analyticsFields,
];

3. Update Node Configuration

Modify MarketingArchitects.node.json if needed:

{
	"node": "n8n-nodes-base.marketingArchitects",
	"nodeVersion": "1.1", // Increment when adding features
	"categories": ["Utility", "Marketing", "Analytics"] // Add new categories
}

4. Test Your Changes

Build and test
npm run build
npm run lint
npm run format
Link to n8n and test
npm link
cd ~/.n8n/nodes
npm link n8n-nodes-marketing-architects-node
n8n start

Publishing to npm

Automated GitHub Actions Workflow

This project includes an automated GitHub Actions workflow that handles the entire publishing process. This is the recommended approach for publishing new versions.

#### Setup (already done)

1. Add NPM_TOKEN to GitHub Secrets:
– Generate a token at npmjs.com/settings/tokens
– Add to GitHub: Settings → Secrets and variables → Actions → New repository secret
– Name: NPM_TOKEN, Value: your npm publish token

#### Publishing a New Version

1. Commit your changes to main branch
1. Go to Actions → Manual Release & Publish
1. Click “Run workflow”
1. Choose version type (patch/minor/major)
1. Add optional release notes
1. Click “Run workflow”

The workflow automatically:

• ✅ Runs quality checks (linting, formatting, build)
• ✅ Bumps version in package.json
• ✅ Updates README version history
• ✅ Publishes to npm
• ✅ Creates GitHub release with installation instructions

#### Testing Before Publishing

Use the “Skip npm publish” option to test version bumping and GitHub releases without actually publishing to npm.

Manual CLI Publishing (Alternative)

If you prefer manual publishing:

Build and quality checks
npm run build
npm run lint
npm run format
Bump version and publish
npm version patch  # or minor/major
npm publish
Create GitHub release
git tag v$(node -p "require('./package.json').version")
git push origin --tags

Note: Manual publishing requires npm login and doesn’t include automated quality checks or documentation updates.
