Automatically Share Information on Published Videos

By using the YouTube API, you can obtain information when a new video is published on a specified YouTube channel. Furthermore, by linking with chat tools, you can automatically send that information. By changing the notification destination and notification text settings, you can use it for various purposes such as sharing publication information with team members, requesting dissemination to marketing or social media personnel, or reporting to superiors.

Yoom allows integration with multiple chat tools, so please select and use the template for the tool you usually use. If you use different tools for different departments or tasks, you can also use more than one template simultaneously.

Additionally, the information from published videos can be used for creating pages in task registration and information management apps. If there are tasks that must be completed after the video is published, or if you are compiling video information in Notion, please refer to the following template.

Synchronize Channel Report Information with the Database

You can obtain channel reports using the YouTube API and reflect the information in various linked databases. By utilizing Yoom's schedule trigger, you can repeatedly and automatically retrieve reports at specified times and synchronize them with the database.

Compared to manual work, the risk of human errors such as transcription mistakes and registration omissions is reduced, which is expected to improve the accuracy of statistics and analysis based on this information. It can be useful for improving video content and strategizing content marketing. Additionally, besides synchronizing with the database, it is also possible to notify the content via email.

Send Channel Report Information to Chat Tools

The information from the obtained channel report can be sent not only to databases and emails but also to chat tools. Similar to public video information, you can use it for various purposes by changing the notification destination and notification text settings. Additionally, multiple templates can be used to accommodate different chat tools.

You can extract only the necessary items from the report and share the data promptly. Regular notifications allow you to quickly detect and respond to any abnormal values if there are sudden changes in view counts or comment numbers. You can notify the latest information, such as view counts, comment numbers, and likes/dislikes, via chat, while other items and comparisons with previous data can be checked in the database.

Share the Publication of Videos Related to Specific Keywords

You can obtain information and share it among relevant parties when videos matching specified keywords are published. This allows you to acquire information about videos related to specific products or services and use it for campaigns, promotional activities, or to provide instructions for subsequent tasks. Summarizing video descriptions can help reduce the time needed to verify video information.

Additionally, if you store videos of individual negotiations or meetings on YouTube, you can include keywords like 'Initial Guide' in the title of the first negotiation video. This allows you to set up automatic contact creation in HubSpot after the video is posted, helping to prevent missed lead registrations.

Obtain Channel Reports Under Specific Conditions

Obtaining channel reports can be done not only on a regular schedule but also triggered by creating a page in Notion or receiving an email. If you manage video content or campaign information in Notion, or if you receive an email and need to obtain and share reports based on specified conditions among stakeholders, please refer to the following template.

Post on SNS when the video is published

When the video is published, you can automatically post it to your X or LINE official account. Not only can you post the video link, but you can also use AI to automatically create text, making it possible to fully automate posting to SNS. If you are using X or LINE official accounts, please refer to the template below.

Summary

We introduced what can be achieved using the YouTube API, how to integrate it with other app APIs, and some use cases. By using the YouTube API, you can obtain information about videos and channels, which can lead to the automation of business workflows using published video information and channel reports. By integrating with other app APIs, you can automate notifications and database synchronization, improve the efficiency of information sharing and data analysis, and aid in the management and marketing of video content.

With Yoom, anyone can easily set up integrations and automation. Please register and give it a try.

e.koyama
Until now, I have experienced office work at specialized trading companies and in the EC industry. The work I was in charge of covered a wide range of tasks, such as sales office work, accounting, general affairs, human resources, and legal affairs. We worked to improve the efficiency of individual tasks, but I think the work could proceed more conveniently by using various support tools and Yoom... I would be happy if I could send out an introduction article on Yoom that makes use of my work experience and help everyone proceed smoothly with their work.
