In the realm of content management, the idea of manually posting and organizing YouTube videos is as outdated as the floppy disk. For content teams utilizing AITable.ai for project management, the burden of extensive content publishing and management is no longer a time-consuming chore. While others are manually publishing and categorizing their YouTube content, you could be harnessing the power of automation, freeing up valuable time and resources for strategic planning and content creation.
This article will guide you on how to leverage automation for posting YouTube videos and subsequently updating the URLs on AITable.ai.
Harnessing the Power of AITable.ai
AITable.ai is a game-changer in workflow automation, simplifying processes with a visual database and boasting connectivity to over 6,000+ apps via Albato, Zapier, Make, Pabbly, and Activepieces.
The specific automation process we’ll explore today involves posting videos stored on Google Drive to YouTube, and subsequently updating the unique URLs on AITable.ai.
A Step-by-Step Guide to Automating YouTube Video Posting
Firstly, within AITable.ai, create a datasheet containing YouTube information. This should include a ‘select’ field, which can be named ‘status,’ indicating the status of video posting, with an option for ‘sent,’ and a text field filled with the Google Drive video’s file ID.
Next, build a ‘send web request’ automation within AITable.ai, ensuring that participant information can be received by Make. Set the trigger to ‘Record Matches Conditions,’ which will activate when the status changes to ‘sent’.
And then Set the action to ‘send web request.’ Fill in the required information based on the configuration.
Then, create a new Scenario in Make, choosing webhook as the first module, select ‘custom webhook’ and generate a URL to be pasted back into the automation settings within AITable.ai.
Once you’ve successfully tested the data capture, the next module to select is Google Drive, with the action set to ‘Download a File’. Connect your Google Drive account and insert the Google Drive file ID variable, which you captured from the webhook, into the corresponding configuration field.
Please note the video file size limitations on Make plans:
- Free: 5 MB
- Core: 100 MB
- Pro: 250 MB
- Teams: 500 MB
- Enterprise: 1000 MB
For the third module, select YouTube, with the action set to ‘upload a video’. Then connect your YouTube account, filling in the information as per the configuration panel.
The final module is AITable.ai, with the action set to ‘update a record’. Connect your AITable.ai account, and input the URL obtained from the previous step, along with the video ID, into the corresponding AITable URL column, then save.
Once the test is successful, the workflow is complete.
