Use an existing-content workflow when you want to repost content that is already live on one of your connected social accounts.
When to use it #
- You have older short-form videos that still perform well.
- You want to move proven content from one supported platform to another.
- You want to test Repostit with a known post before enabling future automation.
Safe setup #
- Connect the source account and destination account.
- Choose one existing post first.
- Check format, audio, and duration rules for the destination.
- Run the repost and inspect the destination platform afterward.
This is the safest way to prove that your accounts and permissions are correct before you automate future posts.
Practical check #
- Keep the first version simple enough that you can verify it quickly.
- Write down the source account, destination account, and reason for the workflow.
- Review the first result on the destination platform before increasing posting volume.
Quality bar before you rely on this #
Before you treat this as a live Repostit workflow, publish one low-risk test and inspect the result on the connected platforms. A workflow is ready only when the correct source account, destination account, video format, and permission path all match what you expected.
If this is for a client or brand account, write down the source, destination, approval owner, and reason for the workflow. That small note prevents confusion later if someone asks why a post appeared on a specific channel, Page, or profile.
