Example

Example workflow

A realistic batch scenario from a weekly content calendar.

A marketer adds a new 60-second product video to the Google Sheet with URL and captions. At 09:00, the AI Agent processes the row, uploads the video to Blotato, and publishes to Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, Facebook, LinkedIn, Threads, X, Pinterest, and Bluesky.

FAQ

FAQ

Practical concerns and detailed explanations.

The AI agent will retry within configured limits and log any persistent failures. If a platform remains unavailable, it marks that row with an error status and notifies the designated channel. The system continues processing other rows while isolating the problematic post. You can review the failure reason and re-run once the platform is back online. This minimizes disruptions to the overall publish cadence.

Yes. The AI agent supports platform-specific caption customization. It can apply different hashtags, line breaks, and mentions for each network while preserving the core message. You control per-platform rules in the sheet or through Blotato settings. If you need spot adjustments for a single post, you can modify the caption before the next run. The agent will apply the latest rules on the next execution.

Create columns for URL VIDEO, DESCRIPTION (caption), Titre (title), PROMPT, row_number, and STATUS. The agent expects these fields to exist and to be populated for new rows. STATUS should start as something other than DONE to trigger publishing. You can add additional columns for metadata if needed, but they must be supported in the sheet-reading logic. Regularly ensure the sheet remains accessible by the automation platform.

Yes. You can pause the automation at the workflow level or stop processing after the current row completes. The agent maintains a safe state so partial runs do not corrupt data. When resumed, it will continue from the next row marked as not DONE. Stopping does not delete already published posts or data; it only halts subsequent executions. You can schedule re-starts as needed.

The agent focuses on initial publishing from the sheet to the platforms. If an update is needed, you can modify the metadata in the sheet and re-run the row or create a new row with the revised content. Blotato can be re-invoked for updated posts, but you should manage versioning in your sheet to avoid duplications. For frequent edits, consider building an update flow as an additional automation layer. The current design supports clean re-runs of updated rows.

Yes. The setup includes a Schedule Trigger to define publish times. The agent reads the schedule and aligns posts to publish accordingly across all nine platforms. If you need time-zone aware sequencing, you can configure the trigger to account for regional differences. The scheduling is part of the orchestration layer and can be adjusted without touching the sheet data. This ensures predictable delivery windows for campaigns.

API keys for Blotato and any connected services should be stored securely and restricted to the automation environment. Rotate keys periodically and use environment variables or secret stores where available. The agent does not expose credentials in the sheet or logs. Access should be granted only to authorized team members. Always follow your organization's security policies when enabling automation across platforms.
