Description
This automation template is designed for content creators, social media managers, and influencers who want to streamline their video publishing workflow. It automatically detects new videos uploaded to a specific Google Drive folder, generates AI-powered descriptions based on video audio content, and simultaneously publishes them across Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube while tracking everything in Airtable.
Note: This workflow uses upload-post.com API (free trial no credit card required) for multi-platform video distribution and requires API tokens for each service. The AI-generated descriptions are created using OpenAI's transcription and chat models to analyze video audio content.
Who Is This For?

Content Creators & Influencers: Automatically publish your videos across all major social platforms without manual work.

What Problem Does This Workflow Solve?
Publishing the same video content across Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube is time-consuming and repetitive. You need to manually upload each video, write unique descriptions, and track publication status. This workflow addresses these challenges by:

-
AI-Powered Content Generation: Uses OpenAI to transcribe video audio and generate engaging, platform-appropriate descriptions automatically.
-
Centralized Tracking: Maintains detailed records in Airtable including upload status, URLs, and metadata for each platform.
-
Error Monitoring: Provides real-time error notifications via Telegram to ensure you're always aware of any issues.
