([more](https://orshot.com/features/social-publishing.md))
- **Bulk create social media posts** from a spreadsheet: an Instagram post generator, Instagram carousel generator and LinkedIn carousel generator in one, making one post, carousel or story per row of Google Sheets or Airtable instead of designing each one by hand.

## FAQ

### How do I make a video for every job opening?

Design one hiring video template with placeholders for the role, salary, benefits and apply link, then connect your jobs table. Orshot renders a vertical MP4 for each new record and posts it to LinkedIn and Instagram, so every opening gets a video without opening an editor.

### Can I leave out the salary?

Yes. Send the pay range when you share it and a short line like "Competitive pay plus equity" when you don't. The field resizes to fit either.

### Can I use my own office or team photo?

Yes. The background photo is a dynamic field. Add a photo URL or an attachment field to the record and each video uses its own image.

### Where is the finished video saved?

The video URL is written back to a field on the job record, so the video sits next to the opening. You can also send it to Google Drive or Slack for the hiring team.

### Can I trigger it from my ATS instead of Airtable?

Yes. The same template renders through the Orshot API, so you can start it from n8n, Make, Zapier or a webhook from your applicant tracking system.

### Does it work for TikTok and Reels too?

Yes. The video is 1080 by 1920, so it fits LinkedIn, Instagram Reels, TikTok and YouTube Shorts without resizing.
