1. Setting Up Pabbly Connect for YouTube and Microsoft Excel Integration

To begin the integration process, access Pabbly Connect by visiting Pabbly.com/connect. This platform enables seamless automation between various applications, including YouTube and Microsoft Excel. If you are a new user, sign up for a free account to explore its features.

Once logged in, click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button to initiate a new automation. Name your workflow something descriptive, such as ‘Add YouTube Video Comments to Microsoft Excel.’ After naming your workflow, you will see two sections: Trigger and Action, which are essential for setting up your automation.

2. Selecting the Trigger Application in Pabbly Connect

In this step, you will specify the trigger application, which will be YouTube. Select YouTube as your trigger application in Pabbly Connect. The goal is to trigger the automation whenever a new comment is posted on your YouTube videos.

• Choose ‘New Comment’ as the trigger event.
• Click on ‘Connect’ and then select ‘Add New Connection’ to link your YouTube account.
• Authorize Pabbly Connect to access your YouTube channel.

After successful connection, select your YouTube channel and specify the maximum number of results you want to retrieve. This setup allows Pabbly Connect to monitor your channel for new comments effectively.

3. Capturing YouTube Comments with Pabbly Connect

With the trigger set, the next step is to capture the comments from your YouTube channel. You can test the trigger to ensure it fetches the latest comments correctly. Click the test button, and Pabbly Connect will retrieve the most recent comment from your channel.

For instance, if you post a new comment saying, ‘Great video! Can you make one about the moon?’, this comment will be captured by Pabbly Connect. The system checks for new comments every 10 minutes, ensuring that you never miss any interactions on your videos.

4. Setting Up Microsoft Excel as the Action Application

Next, you need to configure Microsoft Excel as the action application where the comments will be stored. In Pabbly Connect, select Microsoft Excel and choose the action event as ‘Add Row to Worksheet.’ This action allows you to create a new entry in your Excel sheet for each new comment.

• Connect your Microsoft Excel account by selecting ‘Add New Connection’ and authorizing access.
• Select the workbook where you want to store the comments.
• Map the relevant fields such as comment date, content, video link, and author name.

After mapping these fields, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to verify that the integration works correctly. Pabbly Connect will now add the comments to your specified Excel sheet automatically whenever new comments are posted on YouTube.

5. Finalizing the Integration and Monitoring Comments

After setting everything up, your Pabbly Connect workflow is ready to go. Every new comment on your YouTube videos will be automatically added to your Microsoft Excel sheet, allowing you to track viewer feedback efficiently. You can refresh your Excel sheet to see the latest comments captured.

This automation not only saves time but also eliminates the need to share your YouTube channel access with team members. Instead, you can simply share the Excel sheet, which provides a comprehensive overview of viewer interactions on your content.
