Make a Zap

1. Click on 'Make a Zap' in the top-right

Set the Zap Trigger

1. Search for 'YouTube' and select the trigger app
2. Set the trigger as 'New Video in Channel'

3. Connect a YouTube account (this doesn't have to be the account that you're watching for uploads)
4. Enter the Channel ID to watch for (e.g. 'channel/UCZ5XnGb-3t7jCkXdawN2tkA')

5. Test the trigger by pressing 'Fetch & Continue'

6. Use the 'Insert a Field' button on the right to insert information about the uploaded video such as its title, URL and description

6. You can also include additional JSON parameters using the '+' button just underneath. Here's a list of valid parameters.
7. Press 'Continue' and send a test to your server with the most recent video. Use 'Edit Template' on the left to make changes if you aren't happy.
8. Press 'Finish', give your Zap a name and turn it on!

Nice! This is a very helpful page for anyone need a Youtube notifications!

Sadly, Zapier webhooks are now premium-only. Using the Discord trigger instead also works.

Although the webhook function is premium-only now, It can be done through YT-->Discord connection in Zapier.

Could you explain a bit more how to replace the webhook function?

This is easier than buying premium for a discord bot to get video uploads!

Is this still works? I just created a Zapier and it works upon testing even the webhook function is premium-only now. I'll just have to wait for the channel to upload something.

Also, does anyone here know how to get notification from a YT channel but must have the specified string/word. Is it possible?

Thanks it worked
👯‍♂️
