Youtube to Bluesky (Thumbnails)

Getting Started
1

So, I’m a complete newbie when it comes to all this. I set up a Youtube to Bluesky connection that can post whenever a new video goes live, but I can’t figure out how to get it to post a video thumbnail. The code I currently have is:

{
   "collection":"app.bsky.feed.post",
   "repo":"*****.bsky.social",
   "record":{
      "$type":"app.bsky.feed.post",
      "text":"New Video!",
      "facets":[
         {
            "index":{
               "byteStart":0,
               "byteEnd":11
            },
            "features":[
               {
                  "$type":"app.bsky.richtext.facet#link",
                  "uri":"https://youtu.be/ 1. Video ID"
               }
            ]
         }
      ],
      "createdAt":"2025-03-14T12:00:00.000Z"
   }
}

Could someone smarter than me help me out? :slight_smile:

Welcome to the Make community!

According to the official Bluesky documentation, you can embed images using the embed property.

Images embeds

Images are also embedded objects in a post
A complete post record, containing two images, would look something like:

Hope this helps! Let me know if there are any further questions or issues. P.S.: investing some effort into the tutorials in the Make Academy will save you lots of time and frustration using Make!

I prolly should have said that I’m a complete newb to all of this… JSON, Make… all of it, lol.
I’ve been getting by on running everything through a JSON checker and praying it didn’t give back an error. Figuring out how to include embeds into a Post seems to be beyond me at the moment. >.>
