When a new video is published on a YouTube channel, summarize its description and add it to a Notion database

■Overview

YouTube is a convenient way to gather information, but do you find yourself rewatching videos to review their content later or manually transferring information to Notion?
With this workflow, whenever a new video is published on a specific YouTube channel, AI automatically summarizes its description and adds the information to a Notion database. Automate information gathering by connecting Notion and YouTube, and streamline your daily research tasks.

■Who This Template Is For

• Anyone looking to make information gathering with YouTube and Notion even more efficient
• Anyone who regularly checks specific YouTube channels and records or manages their content
• Anyone who finds manual data entry time-consuming and wants to improve work quality through automation

■Benefits of This Template

• Automate summarization and data entry into Notion when a new YouTube video is published, reducing the time spent gathering and transferring information
• Manage video titles, URLs, summaries, and other information in one Notion database to make it easier to search and put the information to use

■Workflow Steps

1. First, connect YouTube and Notion to Yoom
2. Next, select YouTube as the trigger and set the action to “When a new video is published on a YouTube channel”
3. Then, select the AI feature as an operation and configure the “Summarize” action to summarize the video description
4. Finally, set up Notion’s “Add a record” action as an operation, and add the video title, URL, and AI-generated summary to the specified database

※ “Trigger”: An action that starts the workflow. “Operation”: An action that processes data within the workflow after the trigger starts.

■Customization Options

• For AI-powered summaries, you can use variables to specify the text to summarize, such as a video description, and customize summary conditions such as the character count
