Connect YouTube

YouTube authorization is currently available to approved Google test users. In Connected apps, choose YouTube and select your Google account and YouTube channel. Google asks for permission to manage that channel. Use a separate channel for testing writes.

02

Map your Workflow data

Connect your accounts and map the required fields from earlier steps. Test with data you control before activation.

03

Before you activate

The first poll records a baseline. New uploads may include private and unlisted videos. Use destinations where everyone is allowed to see their titles and links. List actions return one page. Pass the nextPageToken as pageToken to continue. Google enforces project quotas, channel permissions and role requirements. A video upload accepts one File up to 25 MiB. Set the visibility and audience explicitly. YouTube may default to public visibility when the request omits it. Live chat streaming, YouTube Partner and Channel Memberships workflows need separate access or transport. Video title and description changes do not trigger workflows. Disconnect the YouTube account in FastHook to revoke the Google authorization.
