detail.loadingPreview
Never miss new videos from your favorite YouTube channels again. This workflow automatically monitors your YouTube subscriptions hourly, filters out shorts, and fetches crucial details like thumbnails and durations, ensuring you're always informed about fresh, full-length content.
About This Workflow
This n8n workflow provides a smart, automated solution to keep track of new content from your YouTube subscriptions. Running hourly, it efficiently gathers a list of your subscribed channels using the YouTube Data API, then leverages RSS feeds to identify the latest 15 videos from each. This strategic approach minimizes API quota usage. For each potential new video, the workflow calls the YouTube API to retrieve essential details like thumbnails and duration, crucially filtering out YouTube Shorts to focus only on full-length content. This ensures you receive timely notifications for the videos that truly matter to you, transforming how you consume YouTube content.
Key Features
- Hourly Monitoring: Automatically checks for new videos from your subscriptions every hour.
- Smart API Usage: Efficiently fetches subscriptions via YouTube API and new videos via RSS feeds to optimize API quota consumption.
- Intelligent Filtering: Automatically filters out YouTube Shorts, focusing only on full-length videos relevant to your interests.
- Rich Video Details: Retrieves video thumbnails and durations, ready for use in personalized notifications.
- Customizable Frequency: Easily adjust the check frequency to suit your preferences without extensive configuration changes.
How To Use

youTubeOAuth2Api) within the workflow. This credential is required for both the 'Get video details' and 'Get my subscriptions' nodes to access your YouTube data. - Adjust Frequency (Optional): To change how often the workflow runs, modify the
intervalin the 'Schedule Trigger' node. The default frequency is every hour. - Configure Notification Output: The workflow currently collects video data. To receive notifications, you will need to add an additional node (e.g., Email, Slack, Discord) after the 'Filter out shorts' node, using the retrieved video data (like title, link, and thumbnail) to send your desired alerts.
- Activate Workflow: Once configured, activate the workflow to start automatically monitoring your YouTube subscriptions for new full-length videos.
