Quick Start Guide

Ready to automate your social media? Follow these 5 simple steps to your first automated upload.

1. Add your Platform Account

Open Accounts ▸ Add Account. Choose YouTube and enter your credentials. Socibot securely manages your session profiles.

2. Automatic Target Detection

Once your account is added, Socibot automatically detects your associated channels (Targets). They will appear immediately in the account tree on the left sidebar.

3. Set up a Template Set

Open the Template Manager. While you can customize your patterns, Socibot automatically uses {file_name_clean} by default to ensure your videos always have sanitized, professional titles even if you don't set a custom template.

4. Ingest your Videos

Drag and drop video files into the video list widget, or set up a Watch Folder for automatic detection.

Pro Tip: Right-click any video and use Mark as... to manually override its status (resetting failed videos, skipping, etc.).

5. Start Automation

Review your metadata, click Apply Template, then hit Start Automation. Watch Socibot do the heavy lifting!
