Hi,
I am using it for posting my IG post or reel to other social media platforms.
I am using a special char, say - to separate from title & description.

I used text formatter, {{-}} to extract all text before that to be the title of the YT or other posts
I used {{.}} to extract the description.

But every time I am getting the same response.
PFA several tries.

I tried with all available text formatter to extract the text for title & description.
If I pass the whole string as it is, YT gives error and unable to post.

I am unable to attach the video, mp4 format even a 10 mb file.

Help me

Hello @ganganarayan.rns
As we have checked, you are getting this error because in the action step “YouTube: Upload Video”, under the field “Video URL”, you are adding a URL that is not a .mp4 file. Please make sure to add a .mp4 file as specified in the help text.

I think the automation was to trigger and send the same video/image file/post from Instagram to all other platforms, whenever some post is made on IG. If I have to attach a file in Pabbly, it loses all sense of automation. It is not called automation, I would upload directly to YT rather than putting the video or image link here.

I don't understand.

The error was coming while extracting the title and description from the IG caption and text extractor was not giving the right string.
Pushing the entire caption as it is to YT title and description was the error what I could understand.

Pl clarify.

The media URL has the .mp4 but has many more char after mp4. I am unable to extract the actual url till mp4, even with the text formatter.

Also if I post an image it will have a different extension, png, jpg etc, I don't think it can be done like that.

Not sure how to proceed.
