2. Creating a Workflow in Pabbly Connect

In this section, you will create a workflow that integrates Zoom and YouTube using Pabbly Connect. After clicking ‘Create Workflow’, you will be prompted to choose between the new and classic workflow builders. Select the new workflow builder for a modern interface.

• Name your workflow as ‘Upload Zoom Recordings to YouTube Automatically’.
• Choose a folder to save your workflow.
• Click on ‘Create’ to finalize the workflow setup.

Upon creating the workflow, you will see the main workflow window where you will set up the trigger and action for your automation. The trigger will be set to Zoom to initiate the process whenever a new recording is made.

3. Setting Up the Trigger with Zoom

To set up the trigger in Pabbly Connect, click on the ‘Add Trigger’ button and select Zoom as your application. Choose the event as ‘New Recording’ to capture new recordings automatically.

Next, you need to configure the webhook by adding a new connection. This requires a token from your Zoom account. Open your Zoom account, navigate to the App Marketplace, and create a new app. Name it ‘Zoom to YouTube’ and input the redirect URL provided in your Pabbly workflow.

• Go to Zoom’s App Marketplace and select ‘Develop’.
• Create a new app and fill in the necessary details.
• Copy the secret token and paste it in your Pabbly Connect workflow.

After saving the connection, you will need to add the webhook URL in your Zoom account to capture recording notifications. This step is crucial for ensuring that Pabbly Connect receives the recording data.

4. Adding Action Step to Upload to YouTube

Once the trigger is set up, it’s time to add the action step in Pabbly Connect. Click on ‘Add Action Step’ and select YouTube as your application. Choose the action event as ‘Upload Video’ to automate the video upload process.

To connect to YouTube, you will need to sign in with your Google account. Select your account and grant the necessary permissions. Once connected, you will be prompted to fill in details like the video title, description, and video URL. Use mapping to dynamically insert data from the Zoom recording.

Map the video title to the topic of your Zoom meeting. Set the description to include relevant details about the meeting. Use the file download URL from the Zoom recording for the video URL.

After filling in the required fields, save the action step. You will then receive a confirmation that the video has been successfully uploaded to your YouTube channel.

5. Testing the Automation

After setting up your workflow with Pabbly Connect, it’s important to test it to ensure everything works smoothly. Start a meeting in Zoom and record it to trigger the automation.

Once the meeting is recorded, check your Zoom account for the recording status. After processing, Pabbly Connect should capture the recording details. You can verify this in your workflow dashboard to ensure that the trigger was successful.

If everything is set up correctly, you will see the new video uploaded to your YouTube channel with the title and description you configured earlier. This automation allows you to efficiently manage your recordings without manual intervention.
