Attach video to any page, customer, or card, then publish it to Instagram
A new Media property holds an image or a video, and automations can post that video straight to Instagram or Facebook.
Video belongs on the record now
Properties gained a new type: Media. Point one at anything in your Media Center, an image or a video, and it lives on the page, customer, or board card it describes. Images preview in place, same as before. A video shows a play tile wherever the property appears, and plays inside the popover without sending you off to another screen.
You can upload straight from the property too. The file lands in the Media Center as a normal asset, so it's filed where you'd expect it and you can use it again somewhere else.
Nothing changed for Image properties. The ones you have behave exactly as they did yesterday. Convert one to Media when you want video on it, and you'll be told how many values that clears before it happens. Board card covers are still images only.
Delete the asset behind a value later and the property reads "Media unavailable". A missing file no longer looks like a field nobody filled in.
Publish a video to Instagram or Facebook from a board card
An automation that posts to Instagram or Facebook can pull its media straight off a card's Media property. Drop a video on the card and the Publish to Instagram or Publish Facebook post step picks it up when the run fires. That's how a video gets from SharpOS onto a client account without you handling the file.
Automations already built on Image properties carry on unchanged. Set a video against a post type that only takes images, and the run stops before anything reaches the account.
Also in this release
Page, card, and customer editors no longer drop out during a long editing session. Leave one open a while and it keeps syncing, rather than dying to an error screen you could only escape by reloading.
