Pick it in the **Render Template** node.\n3. **Shotstack credential**: in any Shotstack node, create a *Shotstack API* credential, paste the key, set Environment to **Production**.\n4. **Google Sheets**: create a sheet with the columns `submitted_at`, `name`, `role`, `company`, `rating`, `quote`, `video_url`. Connect your Google credential and pick the sheet.\n5. Activate the workflow and share the form URL shown on the **Review form** node.\n\nRenders use credits. To try the workflow without spending any, use a sandbox key and set Environment to **Sandbox**; those renders carry a watermark.",
