I’m trying to automate video posting from reddit to twitter.

It should work like this:
When a video is hot in reddit, download to google drive, then when a new file is in google drive, post it to twitter.

All of this works except when my mp4 goes to post to twitter, it errors with the following:
 

 

Hi @justneedhelp11 

Please post screenshots with how your Zap steps are currently configured, thanks.


Hey Troy, thanks for your help, I’ve complied it all into one pic for you

Make sure to reference the description under the File field.

Unable to tell the file size for this example shown in the screenshot.

 


When I add the description it says ‘no data’ next to it, for your reference the file is 3.9 MB, its a 6 second video

When I add the description it says ‘no data’ next to it

Unless the GDrive File has meta data already, it likely won’t have a value for the Description data point.

Thanks for your help Troy, is the description field necessary for the mp4 file to be found? I’m not quite following that part
