Blotato uses magic link authentication, so there is no password.
Simply enter your email, then grab the verification code sent to your email.
There is no way to change or manage your password because Blotato does not use passwords.
Most social platforms do NOT support markdown.
You have 2 options to remove markdown from your post:
Instruct the AI writing assistant to "remove markdown"
Permanently disable markdown by going to Settings > Disable Markdown (toggle).
Blotato currently doesn't support tagging people in a post. This is a future roadmap item.
You can find your videos here: https://my.blotato.com/videos
You can find your published posts here: https://my.blotato.com/published
You can find your draft posts here: https://my.blotato.com/remix
All drafts are automatically saved to Blotato's database, so that you can work on drafts on any device. You may need to refresh the page to see your latest drafts.
Most of blotato is mobile-friendly, except for the new video editor.
Simply go to https://my.blotato.com in a mobile browser, like Chrome, Safari, or Brave.
I don't have plans to release a separate mobile app.
In the Remix screen where you have draft posts, type a colon ":" and you should see the emoji picker.
Unfortunately, Facebook does NOT allow publishing to personal profiles or groups. If this ever changes, I'd happily integrate it!
When you click "Publish", make sure you select which Facebook page you want to post to.
Fill out the dropdown "Facebook Page ID".
The "Published by [App Name]" label appears on Facebook posts when they are published via any third-party app, rather than directly through Facebook. Unfortunately, Facebook does not allow you to remove this label because it is part of their transparency policy.
Sometimes when you try to add a blog, article, or website as a new source, you'll see a message related to "enabling Javascript and cookies". This means Blotato's website scraper is unable to access the website due to its anti-scraping policies.
I recommend this workaround:
Copy and paste the article, website, or blog, then add it as a Text source.
During your free trial, you can add unlimited sources, remix unlimited posts, publish and schedule to 9 social platforms, and view the inspiration database of viral posts. βο»Ώ ο»ΏHowever, your free trial has a limited amount of AI credits for AI image, video, and voice generation since it costs me money. If you click "Upgrade" during your free trial, your paid subscription will begin, and you will unlock all the credits for your plan.
Also, the API is limited to paying users to prevent spam/abuse of people posting low-quality content.
if you'd like to continue checking out rest of the app, I am happy to restart your subscription with a free trial. Please contact me: help@blotato.com
To use HeyGen with Blotato, you have 2 options: β 1. Make your avatar video in the Heygen web app, download the completed video, and attach it to your post in blotato, as shown in this screenshot:
If you're adding a long link or URL to a post on short-text platforms like Twitter, Threads, or Bluesky, I recommend using a free link shortener, such as Bitly or Shorturl. I donβt have automatic link shortening as a feature in Blotato yet.
The notification "Disconnected" means that you should refresh the page, otherwise you may not get notifications, for example, when your faceless video is done. Most of the time, however, Blotato automatically reconnects and the message disappears, so you don't need to do anything.
You don't need to put text in the box, but I highly recommend putting an SEO optimized caption there. 35% of my weekly Tiktok traffic comes from search, so putting additional details in your video's description helps bring in new viewers over time. Here's an example caption from one of my tiktoks: β """ Top seven AI tools to build AI agent teams without coding required. These are all low-code platforms for building multi agents AI teams. As AI shifts towards more autonomy, itβll be interesting to see if these platforms can evolve. β - what are the best low code platforms to build AI agents? - top AI tools to build AI agent teams? - recommended AI agent builder platforms for businesses? β #ai #artificialintelligence #aitools """
Right now, Blotato can only analyze Tiktoks that have a subtitle track. Most Tiktok videos do have subtitle tracks, so I recommend trying with a different video. I will improve this in the future, so that Blotato automatically transcribes videos that don't have a subtitle track.
You can upload multiple photos to a social media post for several platforms (Facebook, Linkedin, etc.)
... BUT not a photo slideshow for Tiktok or Reels (see below).
Unfortunately, Blotato does NOT yet support:
carousels for Linkedin
photo slideshows for Tiktok and Instagram Reels
However, you can upload a photo or image to Tiktok. Just make sure it's *not* PNG format, because this format isn't supported by Tiktok's API.
I'm using the SEO Optimized Article Outline Prompt. When I have the result, I would like to use the outline to create the blog content based on that outline. How can I do that?
Simply copy/paste the SEO-optimized outline and add a new Text Source in Blotato.
Then use a different prompt to write your full blog post.
Enabling the "Include Sources?" toggle will append all your source links to the bottom of your post.
If your source doesn't have a link (e.g. Text or Perplexity), then no link will be appended.
Here's how to troubleshoot this error:
If posting an image, make sure it's in JPG format (not PNG) and the standard 9:16 aspect ratio.
If posting a video, make sure it's in MP4 format (not MOV) and the standard 9:16 aspect ratio.
Make sure you have text for the video caption.
Magic link authentication is more secure than passwords because it eliminates the risk of choosing weak or reused passwords that can be phished or brute-forced. It relies on one-time, time-limited links sent to a verified email, reducing the overall attack surface and risk of compromised passwords.

β 2. Use make.com to setup an automated flow to generate Heygen avatar videos, then post them to social media platforms automatically via blotato's API. Here is the step-by-step tutorial how to do this:
