How to Create a YouTube and Discord Integration Flow

Now, let's introduce the steps to create a flow bot that "notifies Discord when a new video is published on YouTube."

This time, instead of creating a flow bot from scratch, we will use an existing template that already has the flow set up.

Using a template makes it easier to integrate apps, so it's recommended! Once you've registered with Yoom, click on the banner below to proceed.

Next, let's integrate YouTube and Discord with Yoom. This is called "My App Integration".

My App Integration

Click on the template banner, and you will find a "Try this template" button at the bottom of the screen. Click it.
This will take you to a page called "My Project", where you should select "My App" from the menu on the left side of the screen!

Let's start with YouTube's My App Integration!
Enter "YouTube" in the search box, and when the YouTube icon appears, click it!

Since YouTube is operated by Google, you will use your Google account for My App Integration.
On the page titled "Select Account", click the Google account with the Gmail address that you want to integrate with Yoom!
Next, you will be taken to a page titled "Log in to Yoom", so click Next.
Finally, if a page titled "Yoom is requesting additional access to your Google account" appears, click Continue to proceed.


Once YouTube's My App Integration is complete, let's integrate Discord with Yoom next.
Enter "Discord" in the search box, and when the Discord icon appears, click it!

Two options, Discord and Discord (v2), will be displayed, so please select Discord (v2).

Let's proceed with the registration while checking the red-framed Discord (v2) My App Integration Details Page.

Once the two apps, YouTube and Discord, are integrated with Yoom, the next step is to set up the contents of the flow bot!
The setup procedure for this flow bot is in two stages!

YouTube Trigger Settings

From My Project on the left side of the screen, click "[Copy] Notify Discord when a new video is published on YouTube"! Click Edit at the top right.

Click on the YouTube icon labeled "When a new video is published on the YouTube channel".
Since the necessary items are pre-entered by using the template, check if the account information to be integrated with YouTube is correct, then click Next!

Enter the channel ID as shown in the red frame.

As a note, YouTube often uses URLs like "https://www.youtube.com/@yoomjp". This is Yoom's official YouTube, but the above URL is a type that uses a handle name.
For this app integration, you need to enter the channel ID, not the handle name, so in the case of Yoom's YouTube

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFIXovzd3XrBljMstUlrZeg

<span class="mark-yellow">The part /UCFIXovzd3XrBljMstUlrZeg in the above URL corresponds to the channel ID</span>.

If you only know the handle name URL, there are free tools that allow you to search for the channel ID by entering the handle name URL, so try searching for it.
Once the channel ID is entered, press the test button at the bottom of the screen, and if "Test Successful" is displayed in blue, click Save! That's it for YouTube settings!

Discord Settings

Click on the Discord icon labeled "Notify Discord".
As with the previous step, the necessary items are pre-entered by using the template, so check if the account information to be integrated with Discord is correct, then click Next!

This is the last setting! Let's decide the content to notify Discord.

The channel ID is displayed in the URL of the Discord channel, so you can copy and paste it!
This time, I inserted the URL of the YouTube channel to be notified as shown in the image. This makes it very convenient to jump to the YouTube you want to check immediately! ↓

Once you have decided on the content of the message, press the test button at the bottom of the screen, and if "Test Successful" is displayed in blue, it's OK.
The notification was also sent to Discord at the same time as the test, right? Once this is done, click Save.

This concludes the integration of YouTube and Discord. Good job!

Yoom offers a wide variety of templates that allow you to create flow bots quickly, so be sure to check them out!

Benefits of Integrating YouTube and Discord

1. Notify Discord of the Latest Videos from Specific YouTube Channels!

When a new video is posted on a specific YouTube channel, you will be notified on Discord!
This will help you avoid missing the latest videos from channels that are crucial for marketing.

YouTube already has a feature that notifies you of the latest videos if you subscribe to a channel.
However, since the posting times of videos are inconsistent, it can be bothersome to check each time, or you might have missed the notifications altogether.

By integrating YouTube with Discord, you can free yourself from such hassles.

2. Complete Channel Browsing on Discord!

By embedding the URL of the YouTube channel you want to check in the notification message on Discord, you no longer need to open YouTube from your favorites and search for it.
This kind of action reduction can lead to improved workflow and increased efficiency in daily routine tasks.

Moreover, if you create a thread directly from the message notifying you of the latest video, it becomes easy to add notes about noteworthy parts of the video or sections you want to share with your team.
This eliminates the need to post a new message, thus shortening the workflow.

In marketing, where speed is crucial, reducing the time spent on each task becomes a challenge. Additionally, you need to quickly check the latest videos and connect them to future developments.
Therefore, the integration of YouTube and Discord, which offers the above benefits, can be highly effective in enhancing the speed of marketing.

Conclusion

Checking YouTube is an essential task in marketing. However, checking videos from numerous channels can consume a vast amount of time.
In such cases, try creating the flow bot mentioned here! Aim to reduce the time spent on video checks!

After working as a manager at a general store, I began working from home as an SEO writer. Later, I entered into a freelance contract with a marketing startup for about five years. Surrounded by University of Tokyo students, I spent my days learning various business terminologies and how to use SaaS tools. During my time as a store manager, I was often overwhelmed by administrative tasks such as sales and inventory management, personnel management, and ordering, which frequently prevented me from engaging with customers and caused me to miss sales opportunities. Even during my freelance work, I found myself bogged down with repetitive tasks like data entry and often thought, "Can't these monotonous tasks be automated?" Therefore, I strongly resonate with Yoom's vision!
