Activate the workflow ✅ 🎨 How to customize - Change posting schedule: Modify triggerAtHour values in Schedule Trigger (add more times if needed) - Add more platforms: Extend the platform array in "Upload a video" node (supports YouTube, Facebook, Twitter) - Customize notification format: Edit the Telegram message template to include/exclude information - Change timezone: Modify the timeZone parameter in the Code node (default: "America/Santiago") - Filter by platform: Add a filter node before upload to post only to specific platforms on certain days - Add approval workflow: Insert an approval step before posting using Telegram or Slack - Multiple accounts per platform: Modify "Social Media Account IDs" node to specify different account IDs - Error handling: Add error notification paths to alert you if uploads fail - Batch posting: Remove returnFirstMatch option to post multiple videos at once 💡 Pro Tips - Time format must match exactly between Schedule Trigger and Google Sheets for the workflow to trigger - Videos should be optimized for each platform before upload (aspect ratio, length, file size) - Test with a private account first before going live - Keep video files under 100MB for best performance across platforms - Use the rownumber column to track and update specific posts - The workflow runs twice daily, so schedule posts accordingly (9 AM or 9 PM slots) ⚠️ Important Notes - Posts marked as "Posteado" won't be processed again (prevents duplicates) - Video must be publicly accessible from the Google Drive link - UploadPost API has rate limits depending on your plan - Telegram notifications show success status and post URLs for each platform - The Code node converts times to Spanish format - modify if you need different language/format
