Publish every new YouTube video to Instagram, Threads, and Bluesky with a shortened link

Stop juggling your social networks—automate YouTube sharing to Instagram, Threads, and Bluesky, with smart link shorteners and customizable posts. Let your videos shine while you relax.

  • Execute the task periodically
  • Get my next new video (youtube → get_my_next_video)
  • Shorten URL (btzurlshortener → shorten)
  • Post an image (instagram_apigraph → post_image)
  • Create a post (threads → create_post)
  • Post a message (bluesky → post_message)

Trying to keep up with posting every new YouTube video to Instagram, Threads, and Bluesky is exhausting—and costly if you don’t nail it every time. Each upload means grabbing your video’s details, crafting separate posts, and generating a shareable link, all before the buzz fades. If you miss a beat, your latest content might not make it into those timelines at all, costing you fresh eyes, reach, and potential growth while you spend hours doing repetitive, manual work.

This formula from Botize takes care of the entire multi-platform posting process for you. It monitors your YouTube channel, so whenever you upload a new video, it automatically creates and publishes attention-grabbing posts—including a shortened link and thumbnail—on Instagram, Threads, and Bluesky. The best part is you retain full control: customize the posting message, select how the short link appears, and define posting frequency and filters to match your unique strategy. You move from frantic manual copying and pasting to steady, cohesive visibility—letting your latest video shine everywhere without interruption.
