Use this task for directories that Podigee cannot submit to automatically. The tile of each directory gives you the feed URL to copy and opens the submission page of the directory. The tile also stores the directory URL so that the web player and the podcast website can link to it. The directories with a manual process are TuneIn, Podimo, iHeartRadio, Pandora, Overcast, Pocket Casts, and Podcast Addict. ## Before you start * You need the owner, admin, or editor role for the podcast, with permission to edit the podcast. * The start of a manual process needs a paid plan on the account of the podcast owner. The free Launch plan does not include it. * The podcast must be published and must not be restricted to invited listeners. * You need an account at the directory. Podigee does not create it for you. {% tabs %} {% tab title="Classic view" %} ### Start the manual process 1. Open the podcast and select the **Exports** tab. 2. In the **Audio** section, select the tile of the directory. 3. Read the text **Submission to \[directory] cannot be done automatically.** and **Please copy the RSS feed URL below and enter it when requested**. 4. Select the copy button next to the feed URL. Podigee confirms with **Feed (MP3) URL copied to clipboard**. 5. Select **Begin manual process with \[directory]**. Podigee marks the connection as started and opens the submission page of the directory in a new browser tab. Complete the submission there. When the directory asks for the feed URL, paste it. ### Store the directory URL After the directory lists your podcast, come back to Podigee. 1. Open the tile again. It now shows **Review podcast submission on \[directory]** and the feed URL. 2. Enter the podcast page at the directory in **\[directory] URL**. 3. Select **Save**. The tile explains the purpose of the URL: **The \[directory] URL is used only in the web player and blog to show a link to \[directory]...** ### Add an Alexa skill URL If you have an Alexa Flash Briefing skill for your podcast, you can store its page in the Amazon store. The player and the website can then link to it. 1. In the **Audio** section, select the **Alexa** tile. 2. Enter the skill page in **Alexa Skill URL**. 3. Select **Save**. ### Publish to Steady members The **Others** section contains a **Steady** tile. Steady is a membership platform. When your plan includes Steady publishing, or an older plan that includes it, you can connect your Steady project. You can then publish an episode to your Steady members from Podigee. You can also forward the podcast website to your Steady page. On a plan without Steady publishing, the episode page shows **Steady publishing is not included on your current plan. Upgrade to publish this episode to Steady and manage member-only access from Podigee.** ### Expected result The tile shows the stored URL. The **Podimo** tile also shows **Published**. The other manual tiles show no status label. The web player and the podcast website can show a button for the directory. ### If you cannot complete the task * The tile shows a lock icon: the account of the podcast owner is on a plan without submissions. * The directory rejects the feed: check the feed in the **Feeds** tab and the podcast details. The rejection comes from the directory, not from Podigee. * You need to remove the podcast from a directory: the manual tiles have no remove action. Remove the podcast at the directory itself. {% endtab %} {% tab title="Podigee workspace" %} The Podigee workspace does not include the manual directory process yet. Switch to the classic view to copy the feed URL, open the directory, and store the directory URL. {% endtab %} {% endtabs %} ## Next step [Configure the web player](/documentation/create-and-publish/publishing-and-distribution/configure-the-web-player.md) to show the directory buttons. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.podigee.com/documentation/create-and-publish/publishing-and-distribution/submit-to-directories-manually.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
