Distribution and publishing

Once a production is finished and you approve it to publish, JARAI distributes it to your connected channels and tracks the results. This page covers that flow end to end.

🎬 Publish to your channels

1. Connect your channels once via OAuth (Settings → Connected platforms).
2. Finish a production and open its detail page.
3. Approve to publish — optionally deselect platforms you don’t want this time.
4. JARAI posts to each in-scope channel and records the published URLs.
5. Track publications + engagement on the Distribution dashboard.

Before you can publish

You need at least one connected channel. Connecting is a one-time OAuth step per platform — see Connected platforms. After that, publishing is automatic on approval.

Approving to publish

1. Open the finished production (it reaches an “awaiting publish” state once the deliverables are packaged).

2. Review the deliverables — preview each platform variant on the Story tab.

3. Choose platforms. By default JARAI publishes to the channels in scope; you can deselect any platform you don’t want for this production. Deselected platforms are suppressed (not published); the rest go ahead.

4. Approve. JARAI hands the production to the distribution loop, which posts the right variant to each selected channel.

Tip

Per-platform rights review happens here too — acknowledge any advisory warnings (copyright/likeness/attribution) before approving. See Approval and rights review for the customer-side view of the same gate.

What happens after approval

• JARAI posts the platform-specific variant (correct aspect ratio, duration, and SEO metadata) to each connected channel.
• It records the published URL for each.
• Engagement and revenue flow back in and appear on the Distribution dashboard.

Tracking results

Use Dashboards → Distribution to see what published where, the live URLs, and the engagement/revenue events tied to each. The Avatar performance dashboard breaks results down by avatar and platform.

When a publish doesn’t go through

• Channel disconnected / token expired → reconnect it (Settings → Connected platforms). JARAI refreshes tokens automatically where it can, but a revoked authorisation needs re-consent.
• Platform still pending approval → some platforms require app review before production posting; content for those is held rather than failing.
• Nothing in scope → make sure at least one connected channel was selected at approval.

Note

Distribution runs after the production pipeline completes — it’s a separate stage, so a production can be fully produced and waiting on your approval before anything posts. Nothing publishes without that approval.
