Publish videos from Make

What it can do

• Publish or schedule videos, photos and text from any Make scenario – after a form entry, a new file in Dropbox or Google Drive, or on a schedule.
• Receive results with Make's "Custom webhook" trigger: one event per platform with the post URL or the error.
• Keep Upload-Post scenarios: change the URL and the key, leave the rest as it is.

Honest note: we do not have our own app in Make's directory. The HTTP module "Make a request" covers every endpoint of our API.

Limits

• The limits of your plan apply (requests per minute, uploads per month).
• Make has its own limits for file size and run time per scenario run depending on your Make plan. For large videos send a public URL instead of the file.
• Synchronous uploads can take up to a minute; use async_upload=true and a webhook if your scenario must finish quickly.

Setup

1. In our app create an API key under API & webhooks.
2. In Make add the module HTTP → Make a request:
   • URL https://my-video-automation.com/api/upload, method POST
   • Headers: Authorization = Apikey YOUR_KEY
   • Body type: Multipart/form-data
   • Fields: user = your profile name, platform[] = youtube (one field per platform), title, and video as a text field with the public video URL – or as a file field with the file from a previous module
   • Optional: scheduled_date, timezone, async_upload
   • Tick "Parse response"
3. Run the scenario once and check request_id or job_id in the output.
4. For results: new scenario with Webhooks → Custom webhook, copy the address, add it in our app under API & webhooks → New webhook, then click Send test event so Make learns the data structure.

FAQ

Do I need a paid Make plan?

No for our side; the HTTP module is available on all Make plans. Make's own operation limits apply.

How do I post to several platforms?

Add platform[] once per platform in the multipart fields.

Can Make wait for the result?

Better not: use async_upload=true and handle the result in the webhook scenario.
