"It's such a hassle to check YouTube data and share it on Slack..." "Can't we automate notifications to Slack when a YouTube video is published?" Checking the performance of the latest videos and sharing them on Slack every day is not only time-consuming but also cumbersome.
Therefore, if you can automatically notify Slack with the latest YouTube channel reports, it should reduce your workload.

By implementing such automation, you no longer need to worry about forgetting to share or checking performance. Reduce manual tasks and create an environment where you can focus more on creative work!

Step 3: Setting the Schedule Trigger
1. Select the Trigger This is the first memorable setting! First, please click the red frame below.
2. Specify Execution Time By default, the flow is set to start at 10:00 every day. Change it to your preferred day and time. For more detailed settings like Cron settings, please refer to this help page. Once you have completed the input, press "Save" to proceed to the next step.
[Notes] Due to system constraints, YouTube channel reports can only be obtained from data 3 days ago. For example, if you want to specify a particular date range, use the date addition/subtraction operation or prepare data from more than 3 days ago in advance and set it as the start of the range.
Once you have completed the input, let's run a "Test"! If the test is successful, the output as shown below will be displayed. If the date you set earlier is reflected, it's OK. This time, the date from 3 days ago was properly reflected! Finally, press "Save" to proceed to the next step.
1. Select the Trigger Please click the red frame below. The screen will transition, and the content you entered in Step 1 will be reflected. If no corrections are needed for the title, click "Next" as is.
2. API Connection Settings Here, enter the YouTube information and period for the channel report to be obtained.
Channel ID: Refer to the annotation below the input field to check and enter the channel ID from the YouTube detailed settings screen.
Start Date of the Period, End Date of the Period: Set the period for which you want to obtain the channel report. By default, the value obtained in Step 4 is set, so change it to any date if necessary. This time, we set it for the same day to obtain a one-day report.
Once you have completed the input, please run a "Test". If the test is successful, the output as shown below will be displayed. This time, since it's a test operation, the value is zero, but if the channel is registered, the information should be reflected. Once you confirm the data reflection, press "Save" to proceed to the next step.
Step 6: Slack Message Sending Settings
1. Select the Trigger Please click the red frame below. The screen will transition, and the content you entered in Step 1 will be reflected. If no corrections are needed for the title, click "Next" as is.

Once Slack is ready, return to the Yoom screen. Enter the Slack information in the following items.
Channel ID to Post: Click the input field to display candidates. Select the Slack channel you created earlier.
Message: Enter the message content to be sent to Slack. As before, click the input field to insert YouTube channel information. Customize and enter as you like!
Once you have completed the input, let's run a "Test". If the test is successful, a message should have arrived in Slack, so let's check it. If a message has arrived in the specified Slack channel as shown below, it's OK! Finally, return to the Yoom screen and press "Save" to proceed to the next step.

While dealing with customers, we have been organizing the operations of each branch office and working to improve efficiency and leveling them.
While carrying out the main business, we will use tools determined by the company to disseminate various contents so that it can contribute to improving the work efficiency of everyone who is inputted and managed.
Conventional RPA can only automate simple repetitive tasks, and the setup process was very complicated. With “hyperautomation,” which combines various technologies such as AI, API, RPA, and OCR, it is possible to automate many tasks that could not be realized until now more easily than before.
Most tools simply connect one app to another, leaving the complex tasks to you. Yoom goes much further: From document creation and browser automation to OCR and generative AI, Yoom handles it all seamlessly in one platform.
Why settle for basic integrations? Streamline your entire workflow with Yoom’s powerful hyperautomation.
