In the Trigger box, select Microsoft Excel as the application. Set the trigger event to ‘New Row’ to initiate the automation whenever a new video detail is added to your Excel sheet.

3. Connecting Microsoft Excel to Pabbly Connect

After selecting Microsoft Excel, you will need to connect your Excel account to Pabbly Connect. Authorize access to your OneDrive where your Excel file is stored.

Once connected, choose your workbook from the list. For example, select the workbook named ‘Daily Video Publish’. This step ensures that Pabbly Connect can access the video details you want to upload.

• Confirm that the details from the latest row are captured correctly.
• Check the row index, video title, file URL, and other details.

This successful connection is crucial for Pabbly Connect to retrieve video information automatically.

4. Uploading Videos to YouTube via Pabbly Connect

Next, set the Action application to YouTube and select the action event as ‘Upload Video’. This is where Pabbly Connect takes the data from your Excel sheet and uploads it to your YouTube channel.

You will need to connect your YouTube account to Pabbly Connect and provide the necessary details like channel ID, video title, description, and video file URL. Mapping these fields ensures that each new entry in Excel corresponds correctly to the YouTube upload fields.

Map the video title to the corresponding field. Ensure the video file URL is correctly linked from your Excel sheet.

After filling out the required fields, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to check if the upload process works as intended.

5. Finalizing Your Automation Setup

To ensure everything runs smoothly, add a delay step in Pabbly Connect for 8 minutes after the upload action. This allows time for YouTube to process the video upload.

Then, add another action to check the upload status using the ‘Get Video Upload Status’ feature in YouTube. This final check ensures that your video has been uploaded successfully and is Pabbly.

By following these steps, you will have set up a fully automated process that allows you to upload videos to YouTube directly from Microsoft Excel using Pabbly Connect. Each time you add a new row in your Excel sheet, the video will be uploaded automatically without manual intervention.
