Quick answer

What Postifys supports

Postifys uploads supported videos to connected YouTube channels. Titles, descriptions, and privacy settings follow the fields accepted by the YouTube publishing workflow in Postifys.

Media and post types

Supported publishing shapes

  • Video uploads to a connected YouTube channel
  • Metadata fields supported by the Postifys YouTube publish flow
Publishing method

Dashboard, API, or n8n

Connect a YouTube channel, then submit a video publish job from the dashboard, API, or n8n. YouTube processes the upload asynchronously; Postifys records status for the request.

Permissions

Required access

YouTube channel authorization with upload capability granted to Postifys. Available actions depend on Google/YouTube app approval and channel access.

Media requirements

Before you enqueue

Use a completed video file that meets YouTube’s supported formats and size limits. Provide a clear title and description before enqueueing the upload.

Platform restrictions

Limitations to design around

  • Uploads target connected channels the authorized Google account can manage.
  • YouTube enforces its own video format, length, and policy rules.
  • Processing time depends on YouTube after Postifys submits the upload.
API example

POST /api/youtube/post

Authenticate with your Postifys API key and pass the connected account field youtubeChannelId.

curl -X POST https://postifys.com/api/youtube/post \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
  "title": "Product walkthrough",
  "description": "Published via Postifys",
  "mediaUrl": "https://cdn.example.com/walkthrough.mp4",
  "youtubeChannelId": "CONNECTED_CHANNEL_ID"
}'
n8n workflow example

Select YouTube in the Postifys n8n node, map title, description, and media URL, then choose the connected channel.

Common errors

What usually breaks first

  • Channel not connected or authorization expired — reconnect Google/YouTube in Postifys.
  • Invalid or unreachable media URL — host a completed file on a stable HTTPS URL.
  • YouTube policy or format rejection — check the platform error in Post History.
