Departure
What happens to a YouTube post
-
In the composer
A YouTube preview while you type
Write once, tick your YouTube account alongside anything else you post to, and the card beside the draft shows the post the way YouTube will. Anything YouTube would refuse is said before you schedule, not the next morning.
-
On the board
Departures, not a spreadsheet of rows
Scheduled posts line up by time. You see what leaves next, what already departed, and what needs a look, without opening anything.
-
After it leaves
A YouTube result of its own
Every channel reports separately. A YouTube rejection does not stop the other networks, and the network's own error text is shown on the board in plain language.
-
At rest
Credentials encrypted with AES-256-GCM
Your YouTube credentials are encrypted before they reach the database, are never logged in plaintext, and are decrypted only at the moment of publishing.
Per-channel results
You can see what each network did
One post, one row per channel. Departed channels carry a link to the live post; a failed channel carries the network's own error text, so you know whether to fix the wording, the media, or the connection.
Send the same draft to
Tick these next to YouTube in the composer and they all leave at the same time.
YouTube scheduling questions
What can I publish to YouTube with Postauto?
Video uploads (including Shorts). Video upload via the official Data API; first line of your text becomes the title.
Can one draft go to YouTube and other networks at once?
Yes. Write it once, tick YouTube beside the other accounts, and each network shows its own preview before anything leaves. A channel can carry its own wording without touching the rest.
What do I need to connect YouTube?
Any YouTube channel via Google OAuth.
Where do I connect my YouTube account?
Open Channels in your workspace to see connection options. Any YouTube channel via Google OAuth.
Anything specific to YouTube I should know?
The private-lock is a YouTube network rule for all new API projects, not a Postauto limitation. About 100 uploads per day are available by default.
Can I post to YouTube and other networks at the same time?
Yes. One composer publishes to any mix of your connected channels, and each network's limits are checked per selected channel. Every channel departs at the same scheduled time.
What happens if a YouTube post fails?
Each channel reports its own result. If YouTube rejects a post, your other selected networks still publish, the post is marked partial, and the board shows a readable error for the failed channel.
Can I try it before paying?
Yes. Every plan starts with a 14-day free trial. You choose a plan and give a card at checkout, nothing is charged until the trial ends, and cancelling before then costs nothing.
