Overview

End-to-end automation from detection to publishing and tracking.

The AI agent continuously monitors a Google Drive folder for new video uploads and starts processing immediately. It transcribes the video audio with OpenAI, generates platform-optimized descriptions, and formats metadata for each channel. It publishes to Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube via upload-post.com and logs all activity, statuses, and URLs in Airtable for centralized tracking.

Example

Example workflow

One realistic scenario.

A creator uploads a 12-minute cooking video to the monitored Google Drive folder at 09:02. The AI agent detects the new video, transcribes the audio, generates platform-optimized descriptions, and publishes to Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube within 8–12 minutes. Airtable is updated with the video name, descriptions, platform URLs, and final status as Published.

FAQ

FAQ

Common concerns with detailed answers.

The agent triggers on new video uploads detected in the configured Google Drive folder. It automatically downloads the video, processes it, and advances to transcription and publishing steps. If an upload is incomplete or blocked by a permission issue, the agent logs the error in Airtable and can notify you via Telegram. The flow is designed to be idempotent, so re-running the trigger won’t duplicate posts. You can customize the trigger criteria and folder path at setup.

Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube are supported through the upload-post.com API. The agent handles authentication and per-platform requirements such as captions length and video formatting. If a platform rejects a video, the error is recorded in Airtable and an alert is sent if configured. You can extend support to additional platforms via the same publishing framework.

Yes. You need Google Drive access, an OpenAI API key for transcription and description generation, an Airtable base with appropriate fields, and an upload-post.com account with API tokens for each platform. The setup process includes connected OAuth2 credentials where required. This ensures secure, auditable access across services. You can revoke tokens individually without impacting other components.

Yes. You can adjust prompts and tone, and the AI agent supports input constraints to tailor length and style per platform. Descriptions are generated from the transcription and can incorporate keywords you specify. If you need ongoing refinement, you can update the prompt template and re-run descriptions for archived videos. The system keeps a log of changes for auditing purposes.

Error notifications are optional and can be delivered via Telegram or kept in Airtable as logs. When enabled, the agent sends real-time alerts for failures (e.g., API token errors, platform rejections). Notifications include actionable details to quickly resolve issues. If you prefer silent operation, you can disable the alerts and rely on Airtable status tracking.

Publishing time depends on video length and platform processing time but typically completes within 8–15 minutes for standard videos. The agent performs parallel publishing to the three platforms and updates Airtable as soon as each platform confirms a successful upload. If a platform experiences delays, the system retries and logs the outcome. You can adjust maximum retry attempts and timeouts in setup.

All data processed by the AI agent travels through the connected services with standard security practices. Access is controlled using OAuth2 and API tokens, and Airtable stores only metadata you authorize. You own the content and can disable data sharing or disconnect services at any time. Regular audits of access and permissions are recommended for sensitive workflows.
