YouTube works differently from Discord and Twitch: there is nothing to link. You don't sign in with Google. You tell a trigger which channel to watch, and NoriaFlow subscribes to that channel's public feed for you.
Watch a channel
- In the editor, add a YouTube trigger. New video or Goes live.
- In the Channel field, paste the channel's link,
@handle, or channel ID. - Save (and activate) the workflow. NoriaFlow subscribes automatically and renews the subscription for as long as the workflow is active.
That's it: the trigger fires with the video's title, link, and channel details ready to use in your messages.
Available events
- New video: fires when the channel publishes a video.
- Goes live: fires when the channel starts a live stream.
Both triggers accept an optional Title contains filter, so you can route shorts, VODs, or series to different flows, or ignore them entirely.
Good to know
- Any public channel works: your own, or creators you want to relay to your community.
- Notifications are push-based. NoriaFlow doesn't poll on a timer; YouTube notifies us when the feed changes, so alerts typically arrive within moments of publishing.
- One channel per trigger. Watching several channels? Add one trigger per channel. They can share the same downstream flow.
Next step
Follow the full recipe: Announce YouTube uploads and live streams in Discord.
Setup checks and next steps
- Check the source channel and the destination account separately.
- Review the latest execution when an event is missing; a successful simulation alone does not confirm delivery of a real platform event.
See the extension setup guide for adding and reusing services, the node reference for parameters, and testing and debugging for execution diagnostics.
