I want to set up a Zap where once the status of a file in Frame has been marked as approved, it then sends the video file over to YouTube as an unlisted video.
My only challenge is when I find the file in Zapier, the data for the download URL doesn’t seem to be visible in Zapier. Is there something missing here?
hi @PeterBIRCH apologies this got caught in the spam filter on the forums. You will need to include the media_links.original option in the “Include Additional Data” section and that will populate the download_url for the file
Thanks, OK I’ve got this far but for some reason I still dont seem to be getting the video out of frame and into YouTube. I’ve been able to get other zaps to work (eg notify in slack of new comments, file uploads etc). Am I missing something else? The files aren’t over 256 GB.. I do get this error in the screenshot. Do I need to format the url or something or just drop it in as is? The full error message from zapier is below:
What this error means:
The error in your Zap occurs because the action to upload a video to YouTube is not receiving the necessary data from the previous step. Specifically, the title and video URL fields are attempting to pull data from the previous step, but it seems that the expected values are not being passed correctly. This can happen if the previous step did not output the required data or if there is a mapping issue.
How to fix it:
Check Previous Step Output: Review the output of the previous step (App216464CLIAPI) to ensure that it contains the expected data for "file_name" and "media_links > original > download_url".
Verify Field Mapping: Ensure that the fields in the YouTube Upload Video action are correctly mapped to the outputs from the previous step. Specifically, confirm that "title" is mapped to the correct output for "file_name" and "video" is mapped to the correct output for "media_links > original > download_url".
Test Previous Step: Run a test on the previous step to confirm that it outputs the correct data. If it does not, troubleshoot that step to ensure it is functioning properly.
Check for Errors in Previous Step: Look for any errors or warnings in the previous step that might indicate why the expected data is not being passed.
Re-test the Zap: After making any necessary adjustments, re-test the Zap to see if the issue is resolved.
hi @PeterBIRCH you should be able to use the download url to upload directly to youtube without issue (I just tested myself and was successful). Access denied typically means you don’t have permission in the Frame account that it’s trying to pull from, or into youtube itself.
I would test in a much simpler zap first (I did metadata value updated set to status and then when it changed it showed the download url and then uploaded) just to make sure there’s nothing else blocking you.
