Publishing Automation
Set your rules once. Publish automatically, forever.
VideoNest is built around publishing automation. Every video you upload flows to the right partners based on rules you set — by tag, playlist, format, or cadence. Upload once and your content reaches every connected platform automatically. No manual submissions, no repeated setup.
HOW AUTOMATION WORKS
Two ways your content reaches every platform.
VideoNest connects to hundreds of distribution partners. The publishing automation layer is what keeps those connections fed — automatically, on your schedule.
The firehose: publish and it goes.
The moment a video is published, VideoNest evaluates your active publishing rules. If the video matches — by tag, playlist, format, or channel — it flows to every connected partner immediately. No queue. No review. No manual work. Set your rules once and every future upload takes care of itself.
Publishing rules: control the flow.
Set a daily cap for any partner or feed. Filter by format (horizontal, vertical), minimum or maximum duration, specific tags, or playlist membership. Define exactly what goes where and how often — keeping your distribution consistent without overwhelming any partner with a burst of content.

PODCAST DISTRIBUTION
Upload video. Your podcast feed updates itself.
VideoNest converts your video to audio and adds it to a podcast RSS feed the moment it's published. Set up your feed URL once in Spotify for Creators, Apple Podcasts Connect, and iHeart — after that, every qualifying video becomes a new episode automatically. You stay focused on uploading content. The podcast side runs itself.
One-time setup per directory.
Submit your VideoNest podcast feed URL to each platform once — Spotify for Creators, Apple Podcasts Connect, iHeart, Amazon Music, and others. From that point forward, every new qualifying episode appears automatically. No re-submissions, no logins, no manual publishing.
You control what qualifies.
Not every video should be a podcast episode. Filter by tag, playlist, orientation, or duration. Only videos that match your rules enter the podcast feed. The rest stay in your library for video distribution only.
Always current.
Your podcast feed is generated live from your VideoNest library. New episodes appear within minutes of publishing. Updated metadata reflects immediately. Deleted videos are removed from the feed automatically.
Scheduled cadence. (Premium)
Control the release timing of podcast episodes — set a daily or weekly cap, stagger releases across time zones, or drip a back-catalog on a schedule. Available on premium plans.
