Collect channel info once and get ready to use RSS links for YouTube updates. Great for marketing teams and creators who need clean feeds for videos and community posts without Google Cloud setup.

A simple form takes a YouTube handle, username, channel ID, or video URL. The input is validated and routed to the right path. The workflow requests a temporary token from a third party, looks up the channel ID, and builds the official YouTube XML feed plus multiple RSS formats for both videos and community posts. All links are merged, organized, and returned as a neat HTML table in the response. You get up to 13 URLs in one run, covering ATOM, JSON, MRSS, plaintext, and more.

Setup is light because no API credentials are required. Enter a handle like @channel, a channel ID, or a video link and you will receive the feeds instantly. Teams can plug these URLs into dashboards, newsletters, or monitoring tools. Expect faster setup, no API hurdles, and consistent results so you can track content changes and share updates with your team or clients.

• Form input collects a YouTube handle, username, channel ID, or video URL and routes it for processing.
• Validation code checks the input format and prevents bad requests.
• Switch logic sends the request down the right path for channel or video based lookups.
• HTTP requests fetch a temporary token and resolve the channel ID using a third party service.
• Set nodes build the official YouTube XML feed and multiple RSS formats for videos and community posts.
• Aggregate and Merge nodes combine all links into one list.
• Code formats the results into a clean HTML table.
• Respond to Webhook returns the table instantly after form submit.

• Reduce manual work from 30 minutes to 2 minutes per channel
• Deliver 13 feed links in one run for videos and community posts
• Skip Google Cloud API setup and avoid key management
• Accept handles, usernames, channel IDs, and video URLs to increase input coverage
• Return a ready HTML table so teams can copy links without editing

1. Import the template into n8n: Create a new workflow in n8n > Click the three dots menu > Select 'Import from File' > Choose the downloaded JSON file.
2. Open the Form Trigger node and confirm the path and form title. Activate the workflow so the public form URL is available.
3. Run the workflow in test mode and submit a sample handle like @channel or a channel ID to verify the form collects the value.
4. Open the Validation Code node and review the checks. Adjust patterns only if your inputs follow a different format.
5. Check the Switch node to see how values are routed for username, channel ID, or video URL cases.
6. Execute the Get Temporary Token and GTT nodes to confirm a 200 response. If they fail, wait and retry as these are third party endpoints.
7. Run Get Channel ID and Get Video ID Channel ID nodes with test data to ensure the channel ID is returned in the JSON.
8. Inspect the Set nodes that build the YouTube XML feed and the extra RSS formats. Edit output labels if you want different names.
9. Execute Aggregate and Merge nodes and check that 13 items are present when both videos and community links are built.
10. Open the Code node that formats the HTML table and review the columns. Adjust text if you want different headers.
11. Run the full workflow from the form and confirm the Respond to Webhook node displays the HTML table with all links.
12. If requests fail or rate limits appear, add retry settings in the HTTP Request nodes and test again. Update headers if the third party changes requirements.
