Make OpenAI Sora modules deprecated: use HTTP with Sume

Make's notes list the OpenAI Sora and Video modules as deprecated by Sept 24. Replace them with an HTTP module that submits a Sume video job and a webhook.

Make's 2026 release notes, dated September 18, list "OpenAI: Sora and Video Modules Deprecation by September 24, 2026". A scenario that used them can be rebuilt with Make's generic HTTP module: one request submits a Sume video job, and a second scenario with a custom webhook receives the finished result.

The deprecation line is from Make's 2026 notes; the Sume steps are from the video and webhook docs, read 2026-10-01.

What does the HTTP module send?

A POST to https://api.sume.com/v1/videos with a bearer key, a model (or sume/auto to let Sume pick), a prompt, and a callback_url, which the jobs docs describe as an alias of webhook_url. The response returns the job id and a polling URL straight away; the video is not in it.

curl -X POST https://api.sume.com/v1/videos \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $SUME_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"model":"sume/auto","prompt":"A paper boat on a rain puddle","callback_url":"https://hook.example.com/your-make-hook"}'

How does the result get back into Make?

Webhook URLs must be public HTTPS URLs, so Make's custom webhook address fits. Create it in a second scenario, verify the signature, and use job_id to find the original request. Keep polling the status_url as a backup, as the docs advise.

Old module step against its Sume replacement, read 2026-10-01.
Scenario stepReplacement
Create video moduleHTTP module: POST /v1/videos
Wait for renderCustom webhook, or poll status_url
Image or video inputPublic HTTPS media URLs only
Retry on errorSame Idempotency-Key for exact retries

What else changes?

Inputs must be public HTTPS URLs, so files held only inside Make need to be hosted first. Error handling is also yours: see Make error handler retry and send an Idempotency-Key on a paid submit that may retry. For the full pattern, read the Make HTTP and webhook scenario.
