Create post with multiple media types

General
1

Hi,

My developer is suggesting that it’s not possible to create posts with an image and a video in them. Could you please suggest a way if this is possible?

For example, can they create a parent post then multiple child posts, each with an image or video with ordering?

Thanks

Hello @Matth , Could you please confirm which platform your developer is working with — UIKit, SDK, or API?
This will help us suggest the exact method possible for creating posts with both image and video.

Hi,

They’re using the SDK with flutter.

Thanks!

Hello @Matth , For your use case, our team suggests the following approach:

  1. Upload media files (image, video, etc.) using our SDK to retrieve the fileIds:
    :backhand_index_pointing_right: File handling guide

  2. Create a custom post using our SDK, where you can store those fileIds inside the payload:
    :backhand_index_pointing_right: Custom post creation

  3. Build a custom post UI on your frontend to display multiple media types based on the fileIds.

This way, you can support posts containing both images and videos, with flexibility to order and render them as needed.

Great, thanks. I’ve passed this onto the developer and they’ll try this approach

That sounds great, thanks for the update! I appreciate you passing it on to the developer — looking forward to seeing how this approach works out. Please keep me posted on any progress or if anything else is needed from my side.

The parent-child structure you suggested works well for complex ordering needs. Each child post can have:

A media type field (image or video)
A media file/URL field
An order number field

This keeps things clean, scalable, and easy to manage from the backend.
Feel free to share more details about your platform or tech stack and I can give more specific guidance!
Thanks
