Watch: How To Create A content Publishing Workflow with No-Code

I set up a new workflow the other day that automatically publishes my YouTube videos to my Facebook account and LinkedIn. I filmed the step-by-step process I went through to set up this workflow. TIMESTAMPS:

  • 00:00 Intro
  • 01:12 Getting YouTube Videos in Airtable
  • 05:52 Sending approved YouTube Videos to my website
  • 16:31 Posting to Facebook
  • 18:27 Posting to LinkedIn

Track each publishing destination separately

This is my 2021 YouTube publishing workflow. Current account permissions and integration menus can differ. The chapters cover Airtable, my website, Facebook, and LinkedIn.

DestinationFields to reviewSuccess record
WebsiteTitle, summary, video link, approved stateCMS item ID
FacebookPage/account, caption, link or media formatPost ID and URL
LinkedInMember/company account, caption, link or media formatPost ID and URL

Keep the YouTube video ID as the source key. Add a separate status and published ID for each destination. Approve captions and destination accounts before posting. When one destination fails, retry only that destination after checking whether a post already exists. An upload or scheduled item is different from a completed public post.

Start with one permitted test account and one source video. Check mobile previews and link destinations before adding more videos. For an earlier stage in the workflow, see Tella export to private YouTube upload.

Once source publishing works, prepare social drafts with AI while retaining review before posting.
