Airtable Video URL Does Not Work In Buffer

How To
1

Hi,

I have a scenario working where when a content card is scheduled in airtable, it automatically schedules it within Buffer.

The issue I’m facing is that Buffer works correctly if an Image URL is the media, but does not download and get the correct video if its a video URL from Airtable.

Here is the output when a video is passed into buffer:

Any help would be appreciated!

Hi you cannot use the airtable URL here. When airtable hosts images and videos the link changes every few hours.

You need to use http get a file. Then upload the file to a google drive folder then use the link from the google drive folder in your mapping to buffer.
