# Submit a podcast to a supported platform

Preview and submit a show to a directory that Podigee can contact directly.

Podigee can currently submit a show directly to Spotify, Deezer, Apple Podcasts, and Listen Notes.

## Before you start

* Check the show's distribution status.
* Confirm the platform is `not_submitted`.
* Confirm `manual_submission_required` is false.
* Confirm edit permission and a plan that includes directory exports.
* Prepare one stable idempotency key.

## Submit the show

1. Preview `submit_to_platform` with the podcast ID and exact `platform_key`.
2. Review the feed URL and current platform status.
3. Confirm the exact preview with the same idempotency key.
4. Submit once.
5. Review `submitted_now` and the resulting normalized status.
6. Check show distribution status again later for review or live changes.

Use the platform keys `spotify`, `deezer`, `apple_podcasts`, or `listen_notes`. Amazon Music and Audible are activated in the show's Distribution settings in Podigee, not through this tool.

## Expected result

Podigee submits the podcast or returns the already-submitted state without creating duplicate work.

## If submission is blocked

Use a one-time handoff for a manual platform. For Spotify, the audio submission path is unavailable when Spotify Video is enabled. Follow the current Spotify Video workflow instead.

## Next step

[Check show distribution status](/documentation/start-here/ai-agents/distribute-a-podcast/check-show-distribution-status.md).

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

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/start-here/ai-agents/distribute-a-podcast/submit-a-podcast-to-a-supported-platform.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`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.
