YouTube to Discord via IFTTT and webhook

You just posted a video. You want everyone in your server to know this, eh?

I'll just start from Step 3. You know where Step 1 and Step 2 is, eh?

Step 1 - Register on IFTTT

1. Go to https://ifttt.com/ and create an account (if you don't already have one).

Step 2 - Make a Discord Webhook

1. Find the Discord channel in which you would like to send Tweets.

2. In the settings for that channel, find the Webhooks option and create a new webhook. Note: Do NOT give this URL out to the public. Anyone or service can post messages to this channel, without even needing to be in the server. Keep it safe!

3. You can name the webhook whatever you want, and give it any image; for this tutorial we override them later anyway. Keep track of the URL; we'll need it later.

Step 3 - Make an IF recipe

1. "My recipes"
2. "Create a recipe"
3. Press that underlined huge "this".
4. (Step 1/7) Search for "YouTube" in the "Search channels" box. Click on it. If it needs you to connect YouTube channel (only first time), just click it, log into Google, and authorize it.
5. (Step 2/7) "New public video uploaded by you". Please note that it only works on you, not someone you like (For example, Keemstar).
6. (Step 3/7) Just click "Create trigger".
7. Press that underlined huge "that".
8. (Step 4/7) Search for "Maker" in the "Search channels" box. Click on it. Again, it is called Maker, not "http request" or such thing!
9. (Step 5/7) You only have 1 choice.
10. (Step 6/7) Here's the important part.

Step 4 - Setup the webhook

1. Select "Post" in method, and "application/json" in content type.
2. Paste your webhook URL in the URL box.
3. Paste the following stuff. Edit it if you want.

{
  "username":"IFTTT YouTube Test",
  "avatar_url":"https://blog.eu.playstation.com/files/avatars/avatar_4364447.jpg",
  "content":"**{{AuthorName}}** uploaded **{{Title}}** at {{CreatedAt}}: {{Url}}"
}

Step 5 - Profit

Now what you have to do is just click "Create Action". It will start to run immediately. You can shut it down using the power button. If there's any error, it'll appear in the log. "Check now" button updates the log in case it is not automatically updated (I think).

I did not test it. As "requested" by @eslachance, I have tested it and it should work. If you have any error, do not hesitate to contact austinhuang#1076 on Discord.

thank you so much this works

Quick question: If you don't want the username and avatar to be overwritten, how would you go about that? Would you simply leave those fields blank?

@TheProgenitor don't include those fields then

side note for those who are viewing this later: IFTTT has had an update. i believe the newer version of Maker is now called Webhooks.

I can confirm what @Pyrif said. Search for Webhooks instead of Maker.

This is great, however once authenticated to YouTube, it doesn't seem I can then add a second recipe for a second channel - it only seems to want to use the first one I'd added (my account has several YouTube channels, I want to create a webhook for each of them). Any tips?

Twitter URL is broken

how do i make the recipe? i mean where

how to make an IF recipe?

Yeah, looks like this doesn't work anymore.

This still works they just moved the button to create.

Step 3

1. Click on your picture in the top right.
2. Click "Create" in the dropdown

How I can separate the in new line. \n didn't work.
I just want to show announcement like this

{"content": " <<< Hello @everyone. \n
Kênh youtube {{AuthorName}} just upload a new video {{Title}} \n
{{Description}} \n
Support Erik!!! {{Url}}>>>"}

1. austinhuang#1076 - no account exists

I've been wondering how to do livestreams as well! I tried suggesting them as a feature but haven't heard back yet.

if you use the webhook action instead of the maker one which is no longer there it should work.
