Benefits of Integrating YouTube with Google Chat

This time, we introduce the benefits of integrating YouTube, an online video sharing platform, with Google Chat, and the workflows that can be automated through this integration for those who use YouTube.

YouTube can be used for various purposes, from publicly available videos for product and service promotion or company explanations to videos with limited viewers like internal events or meeting records.
However, to use it effectively, it's important not only to maintain the quality of the video content you create but also to manage the activities before and after video posting.

By linking information related to YouTube videos with Google Chat, you can enjoy the following benefits.

Set up automatic notifications for video uploads

When a new video is uploaded to a YouTube channel, notifications can be automatically sent to the team space in Google Chat. This information sharing allows team members to immediately grasp the new content upon its release and take necessary actions.
This is particularly useful for smoothly adjusting promotion or future distribution schedules, thereby improving overall team communication.

Streamline workflows after video publication

It is also possible to set up automatic notifications in Google Chat only when videos with specific keywords in the title are published on YouTube.
By setting notifications only for videos related to the services or products handled by the team or partner companies, you can include necessary work instructions in the message after publication.
This eliminates the need to check and communicate work instructions or task assignments, allowing for efficient work execution.

Enhance team collaboration

By regularly sharing report information related to the channel, such as subscriber numbers, view counts, and comment numbers obtained from YouTube, with the team in Google Chat, you can strengthen team collaboration regarding channel management and content creation.
Team members can exchange opinions about viewing conditions and discuss improvements or next steps through Google Chat.

As mentioned above, integrating YouTube with Google Chat leads to rapid information sharing, work efficiency improvement, and enhanced team collaboration, potentially improving content quality.

This is a template for a flow made possible by integrating ChatGPT and YouTube.
When a video matching a specific keyword is published on YouTube, ChatGPT will obtain a summary of the video description and similar titles, and send that information via email.
It is also possible to change the email delivery to notifications via other communication tools such as Google Chat.

This is recommended for marketing professionals to utilize in campaigns and promotional activities, or to streamline task management and follow-up after video publication.

When there is a request to correct attendance, update the attendance information in freee HR after approval and notify Google Chat

This is a template for a flow enabled by integrating freee HR and Google Chat.
When a request to correct attendance information is submitted via a Yoom form, the attendance information in freee HR is updated after approval by the person in charge and the supervisor, and a notification is sent to Google Chat.

It is also possible to obtain a YouTube report when information related to marketing or project progress reports is sent, and notify Google Chat with both the form responses and report information.
