1. Accessing Pabbly Connect for YouTube Automation

To automate YouTube comment moderation and replies, start by accessing Pabbly Connect. Open your browser and navigate to pabby.com/connect. You will see options to either sign in or sign up for a free account.

If you are new, click on the ‘Sign Up Free’ button to create your account in just a couple of minutes. For existing users, simply click ‘Sign In’. After logging in, you will arrive at the All Apps page of Pabbly Connect, where you can click on ‘Access Now’ to proceed to the dashboard.

2. Creating a Workflow in Pabbly Connect

Once in the Pabbly Connect dashboard, the next step is to create a new automation workflow. Click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button, and give your workflow a name, such as ‘AI Agent for YouTube Comments’. Select a folder for your workflow and click ‘Create’.

• Name your workflow appropriately for easy identification.
• Select the folder where you want to save this workflow.

This will open the workflow interface, where you will notice two main sections: the trigger window and the action window. The trigger window captures events, while the action window executes tasks based on those triggers. Here, you will set up the trigger to capture new comments from your YouTube channel.

3. Setting Up Triggers for YouTube Comments

In the trigger section, select YouTube as the application. From the trigger event dropdown, choose ‘New Comment on a Channel’. Click on ‘Connect’ and select ‘Add New Connection’ to link your YouTube account with Pabbly Connect.

After connecting, you will be prompted to select the specific YouTube channel for which you want to capture comments. Set the maximum result to 1 to fetch only the most recent comment. Then click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to verify the connection and retrieve the latest comment details.

• Select your YouTube channel from the dropdown.
• Set the max result to 1 for efficiency.

Once the test request is successful, you will see the details of the latest comment, including the comment text, video ID, and user display name. This completes the trigger setup.

4. Integrating OpenAI for Comment Analysis

Next, you will integrate OpenAI to analyze the comments captured by Pabbly Connect. In the action step, search for OpenAI and select it. Choose the action event as ‘Chat GPT Structured AI Output’. This will allow you to receive two outputs: whether the comment is spam and a generated reply if it is not.

Connect your OpenAI account by entering the API key obtained from your OpenAI dashboard. Set the AI model to GPT-4 and configure the roles for the prompts. The system prompt should instruct OpenAI to identify spam and generate a reply if the comment is genuine.

Use the API key from OpenAI to establish the connection. Set up both system and user prompts for accurate responses.

After configuring these settings, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’. This will send the comment to OpenAI for analysis, and you will receive a response indicating whether it is spam and the appropriate reply.

5. Finalizing the Automation Workflow

With the OpenAI integration complete, you will now set up the actions based on the analysis results. Use the router feature in Pabbly Connect to create two branches: one for spam comments and another for non-spam comments. For non-spam comments, set the action to ‘Reply Comment’ in YouTube.

Map the reply text from OpenAI and the comment ID from the trigger step to send the reply back to the original comment. For spam comments, set up the action to ‘Delete Comment’ in YouTube, mapping the comment ID accordingly. This ensures that spam comments are automatically removed while genuine comments receive replies.

Set up the router to handle both spam and non-spam comments. Map the necessary fields for replying and deleting comments.

Once all actions are configured, save your workflow. Your AI agent is now ready to automate YouTube comment moderation and replies effectively.
