Discord and YouTube integration

Save yourself the work of writing custom integrations for Discord and YouTube and use n8n instead. Build adaptable and scalable Communication, HITL, workflows that work with your technology stack. All within a building experience you will love.

How to connect Discord and YouTube

Create a new workflow and add the first step

In n8n, click the "Add workflow" button in the Workflows tab to create a new workflow. Add the starting point – a trigger on when your workflow should run: an app event, a schedule, a webhook call, another workflow, an AI chat, or a manual trigger. Sometimes, the HTTP Request node might already serve as your starting point.

Discord and YouTube integration: Create a new workflow and add the first step

Automatically promote your YouTube video on X

YouTube to X Post Overview This n8n workflow automates the process of promoting your latest YouTube videos on X (formerly Twitter). It ensures that posts are engaging, concise, and follow platform-specific requirements. Additionally, the workflow logs social posts into a Google Sheet for record-keeping. Features Fetch Latest YouTube Videos: Pulls recently uploaded videos from a specified channel. Generate Engaging X Posts: Uses OpenAI's GPT-4 to create tailored, witty posts about your videos. Character Limit Validation: Ensures posts comply with X's character limit by rewriting if necessary. Post Scheduling: Automates post publishing to X. Google Sheets Integration: Logs posts and their status for tracking and management. Optional Notifications: Sends updates via Discord, Slack, or Gmail (disabled by default). How It Works Trigger: Manually trigger the workflow or set a scheduled check for new videos (disabled by default). Fetch YouTube Videos: Retrieves the latest videos from your YouTube channel, filtering duplicates. Content Creation: OpenAI generates a witty and humanized post under 220 characters, using video title and description. If the post exceeds the character limit, it is rewritten automatically. Google Sheets Logging: Logs the generated post to a Google Sheet with details like time, date, and post status. Post to X: Publishes the generated post on X. Updates the Google Sheet with the post URL. Optional Notifications: Sends notifications about the published post via Discord, Slack, or Gmail. Setup Instructions Credentials: Add credentials for: YouTube API OpenAI API Google Sheets API X (formerly Twitter) API Use the accounts associated with "AlexK1919." YouTube Node: Specify your YouTube Channel ID in the Fetch Latest Videos node. Find your Channel ID here. Google Sheets Node: Configure the node with your Google Sheet for logging posts. Use the linked sheet: AlexK1919 Social Posts. OpenAI Node: Set up your OpenAI API key for generating posts. X Post Node: Connect your X account to the Post to X node. Optional Notifications: Configure Discord, Slack, or Gmail nodes for custom notifications. Customization Schedule: Enable and modify the Check Every 2 Hours node to automatically check for new videos. Post Format: Edit the OpenAI prompt in the Generate X Post node to tweak the tone or style of the generated posts. Additional Platforms: Expand this workflow to post on other social platforms by adding respective nodes (e.g., Facebook, LinkedIn). Notes Posts are validated for character limits but are restricted to 220 characters to ensure compliance with X's guidelines and leave space for links. Posts are logged in the Google Sheet with details, including post status and timestamps. Current integrations are focused on promoting YouTube content; additional types can be supported with minor adjustments. Contact For support or inquiries: Alex Kim About Me
