About This Workflow

How it works

This workflow automates the process of uploading videos to YouTube and managing playlists. It starts with a manual trigger, reads a binary file (presumably the video data), uploads it to YouTube, then creates a new YouTube playlist, and finally adds the uploaded video to that newly created playlist. This streamlines content distribution and organization on YouTube.

Key Features

Automated Video Uploads to YouTube
Dynamic Playlist Creation
Seamless Video-to-Playlist Association

How To Use

Manual Trigger: Initiate the workflow by clicking 'execute' in n8n.
Read Binary File: Configure the Read Binary File node to point to your video file path. This node prepares the video data for upload.
Upload Video to YouTube: Configure the first YouTube node to upload the video. Ensure your google-youtube credentials are set up.
Create YouTube Playlist: Configure the YouTube1 node to create a new playlist. You can set a default title or have it dynamically generated.
Add Video to Playlist: Configure the YouTube2 node to add the previously uploaded video to the newly created playlist. The videoId is automatically fetched from the previous YouTube upload node. Ensure playlistId is configured or dynamically sourced if needed.
