Publish one video to Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube at once

Drop a video in Google Drive and the automation writes an AI description and posts it to three platforms at once.

How the work actually flows

It branches. Every path runs; all paths must finish before it continues; a person is alerted when a step fails.

The problem it solves

Posting the same video to Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube means uploading it three separate times, writing a different caption for each platform, and checking back later to see if everything actually went live. That repetitive work adds up fast when you're posting regularly.

Who it fits

Content creators, social media managers, and marketing teams posting video across multiple platforms.

How it works

  1. Saving a new video to a Google Drive folder starts the automation
  2. OpenAI transcribes the video's audio and writes a description for it
  3. The video and description are logged in Airtable to track status
  4. The video publishes to Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube at the same time
  5. Airtable updates with each platform's link, and Telegram alerts you if anything fails
What you get

One video live on three platforms at once

You drop one video into Google Drive and it publishes with a written description to Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube at the same time.

What you get

A video published live across three social platforms, with status and links tracked in Airtable.

What you need

A Google Workspace account, an OpenAI API key, an Airtable account, an upload-post.com account, and a Telegram account.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
