FAQ

1. How does the automation handle large video files?

The YouTube Publishing Process Automation template uses Bika's built-in file attachments to store your master video files. When the "Publish" status is triggered, the automation securely transfers the file from your database to YouTube's servers via the API. For files exceeding standard no-code limits, we recommend linking your cloud storage (like Google Drive or S3) to the database to ensure smooth, high-resolution uploads.

2. Can I use AI to generate the SEO metadata automatically?

Yes. You can integrate an AI Agent step (powered by GPT-4o or Claude) into the workflow. By feeding the AI your video's raw script or a brief summary, it can automatically generate a "scroll-stopping" title, a keyword-rich description, and optimized tags, which are then applied to the video during the publishing process.

3. How do I schedule a video for a specific time and time zone?

In your Content Calendar table, set the "Publish Date" field to your desired time. The automation's "Scheduled Trigger" will monitor this field; once the current time matches your entry, it will flip the video from "Private" or "Unlisted" to "Public." You can manage multiple time zones by adjusting the workspace's global settings to align with your target audience's peak activity hours.
