AI-generatedOverview
This node uploads a video to various social media platforms using the Upload-Post API. It supports specifying the user profile, target platforms, video file or URL, and various platform-specific metadata such as titles, descriptions, privacy settings, and scheduling options. The node can handle asynchronous uploads and optionally wait for the upload to complete, polling the status at configurable intervals. It is useful for automating video publishing across multiple social media accounts from a single workflow.
Use Case Examples
- Automatically upload a promotional video to YouTube, Facebook, and Instagram with custom titles and descriptions for each platform.
- Schedule a video post to TikTok and LinkedIn with specific privacy settings and first comment text.
- Upload a video file stored in the workflow's binary data to multiple platforms, with AI-generated copy for platform-specific titles and descriptions.
