Sets reference data for inspiration, including image URLs and offer details.\n3. Submits data to OpenAI's API to analyze inspiration references.\n4. Builds target data for initiating a Videotok reference.\n5. Posts reference data to Videotok and waits for the asset generation status.\n\n### Setup steps\n\n- [ ] Configure OpenAI API credentials\n- [ ] Configure Videotok API credentials\n\n### Customization\n\nAdjust the wait time in the 'Wait 90 Seconds' node to match the expected processing time. Before activating the workflow, test it with one item, review the generated creative in Videotok, and confirm the brand, platform, and publishing requirements.",
