About This Workflow
This n8n workflow provides a robust solution for managing your YouTube channel's video information by automating its transfer to Google Sheets. It's designed to efficiently capture key video details such as titles, direct video URLs, thumbnail links, channel URLs, descriptions, and publication dates. The workflow includes error handling to ensure data integrity and can append or update existing records in your Google Sheet, making it ideal for content creators and marketing teams looking to maintain an organized and up-to-date inventory of their video assets. By connecting directly to your Google Sheets, it streamlines content analysis and reporting.
Key Features

- Seamless Google Sheets Integration: Updates a designated Google Sheet with new or existing video data.
- Comprehensive Data Fields: Includes title, video URL, thumbnail, channel URL, description, and publication date.

How To Use
- Set up YouTube Credentials: Ensure your YouTube API credentials are correctly configured in n8n.
- Configure Google Sheets Connection: Authorize n8n to access your Google account and select the target spreadsheet and sheet.
- Define Sheet Structure: Map the YouTube video data fields (title, videoId, thumbnails, description, publishedAt) to your Google Sheet columns. Ensure your Google Sheet has columns for 'video_url', 'title', 'thumbnails', 'channel_url', 'description', and 'published_at'.
- Set Up Channel URLs: In a separate Google Sheet (e.g., 'Channel Urls'), list the channel URLs you want to monitor. The workflow will reference this sheet.
- Configure the 'If' Node: Adjust the condition to check for a successful response from the YouTube API (e.g.,
{{ $json.body.pageInfo.totalResults }}greater than 0). - Map Data to Google Sheets: In the 'Google Sheets - Update Data' node, ensure the
valueparameters are correctly mapped using expressions like={{ $json.snippet.title }}and={{ $json.id.videoId }}. - Set Up Error Logging: Configure the 'Google Sheets - Update Data - Error' node to log errors to a dedicated sheet with relevant details like status and timestamp.
- Test the Workflow: Use the 'Test workflow' trigger to execute the nodes and verify the data sync to your Google Sheet.
