Job Description
I’m looking for an experienced Zapier automation expert to complete and fix a partially built (≈40%) autonomous YouTube content system.
The system generates and publishes ambient music videos automatically across 10 different YouTube channels, each with a unique musical identity.
🎯 Final Goal (Must Be 100% Autonomous)
After initial setup, the system must run with zero manual intervention.
Publish 2 videos per week (Tuesday & Friday at 7:00 PM UTC)
Generate 16 videos per month:
8 long-form videos
8 YouTube Shorts
Each video has a random duration:
3h / 5h / 8h / 12h / 18h
Monthly approval workflow:
Videos upload as Unlisted
Reviewed once per month
Then manually switched to Public
CRITICAL RULE (Anti-Duplication)
Within the same channel, the same “environment” must NOT repeat for 50–70 consecutive publications
This is mandatory to avoid YouTube duplicate-content flags
