Keep your team updated when your favorite YouTube channels post new videos. The automation collects the latest uploads, enriches them with extra details, and sends alerts by Telegram or Gmail as a digest or one email per video. It fits marketing teams, content managers, and community leads who track creators or competitors.

Channel IDs come from a simple form or a default list. The flow builds RSS feed URLs, reads up to 15 recent videos per channel, marks which ones are new, and filters out the rest. It then calls the YouTube Data API with your Google API key to pull richer data and merges everything into one clean record per video. OpenAI drafts clear email copy, while Telegram and Gmail nodes deliver either quick chat updates or scheduled summaries.

Set your Google API key in the variables node, connect Telegram and Gmail, and pick a daily schedule that fits your team. Expect to replace manual channel checks that take about an hour with a simple review that takes minutes, while making sure new uploads never slip through. Ideal for campaign monitoring, content curation, creator relations, and executive updates.
