# Understand platform support and handoff types

Reference direct submissions, one-time account handoffs, and RSS episode delivery.

## Direct show submission

Podigee can currently submit shows to:

* Spotify
* Deezer
* Apple Podcasts
* Listen Notes

Use `submit_to_platform` only when the current platform key is supported and the show is not yet submitted.

## One-time human handoff

The external account owner completes setup for:

* Amazon Music and Audible (activated in the show's Distribution settings in Podigee)
* TuneIn
* Podimo
* iHeartRadio
* Pandora
* Overcast
* Podcast Addict
* Pocket Casts

Use `explain_distribution_handoff` for the exact feed and next step. This is setup, not a permanent limit on episode publishing.

## Episode delivery

Most directories read new episodes from the RSS feed. Some services, such as enabled video destinations, also have direct per-episode delivery state. An empty direct-delivery list can be normal for an RSS-only episode.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## 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/understand-platform-support-and-handoff-types.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.
