The problem it solves

You've created a video and now need to post it separately to Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, LinkedIn, and every other channel you use. Logging into each platform and re-uploading the same file eats up time you could spend making more content. It's also easy to forget a platform or post an outdated caption somewhere.

Who it fits

Content creators and social media managers publishing the same video across many platforms.

How it works

  1. Runs on a schedule and checks your Google Sheet for a row marked ready to post
  2. Grabs the caption and the video file from Google Drive
  3. Uploads the video to Blotato so it can be sent everywhere
  4. Publishes it to Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, TikTok, YouTube, Threads, Twitter, Bluesky, and Pinterest
  5. Also generates and posts an AI image to Pinterest

What you need

A Google Sheets and Google Drive account, a Blotato account, and an OpenAI API key.

We can build this. But should you?
