Automate Your YouTube Content Discovery and Notification
detail.loadingPreview
Streamline how you discover and share new YouTube content. This workflow automatically pulls new videos from your subscriptions, filters out unwanted content, and prepares notifications with essential details.
About This Workflow
This n8n workflow is designed to automate the process of staying updated with your favorite YouTube channels. It begins by fetching your YouTube subscriptions, then efficiently retrieves the latest videos from each channel using RSS feeds to conserve API quotas. Crucially, it uses the YouTube Data API to gather specific details like thumbnails and video durations, enabling intelligent filtering to exclude YouTube Shorts. Finally, it prepares this curated content for further use, such as sending email notifications with clickable thumbnails.
Key Features
- Automated Subscription Monitoring: Regularly checks all your subscribed YouTube channels for new video uploads.
- Efficient Content Fetching: Leverages RSS feeds for broad video retrieval, minimizing API quota consumption.
- Intelligent Content Filtering: Automatically identifies and excludes YouTube Shorts based on video duration.
- Rich Media Integration: Gathers video thumbnails for engaging email previews.
- Customizable Scheduling: Easily adjust the frequency of content checks to suit your needs.
How To Use
- Schedule Trigger: Configure the 'Schedule Trigger' node to define how often you want the workflow to run (e.g., every hour, daily).
- Get Subscriptions: Set up the 'Get my subscriptions' node using your YouTube OAuth2 credentials to fetch a list of all channels you are subscribed to.
- Get Latest Videos: Connect the 'Get latest 15 videos of each channel' node to process each subscription. Ensure the 'url' parameter correctly uses the
channel_idfrom the previous step. - Get Video Details: Link the 'Get video details' node to retrieve specific information like thumbnails and duration for each video, using the video ID from the RSS feed.
- Filter Out Shorts: Configure the 'Filter out shorts' node to either exclude videos without a duration or those shorter than 61 seconds.
- (Optional) Email Configuration: Connect a node (e.g., an email sending node) after the 'Filter out shorts' node to send out your curated content. Use the gathered thumbnails and video details to create engaging notifications.
