Existing users can simply log in to their Pabbly Connect account. Once logged in, navigate to the workflow builder, which is essential for setting up the automation. This is where you will create the trigger and action that will facilitate the reply automation.

2. Creating the Trigger for New YouTube Comments

The next step involves creating a trigger that activates when a new comment is posted on your YouTube channel. In the workflow builder of Pabbly Connect, click on the ‘Add Trigger’ button and select ‘YouTube’ as the application.

• Choose the event as ‘New Comment on Channel’.
• Connect your YouTube account by selecting ‘Add a New Connection’.
• Sign in with your Google account that manages the YouTube channel.

After granting permissions, you will need to set the maximum results parameter, which determines how many comments will be fetched. Set this to your desired number, typically 1 for simplicity. Click ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to capture the latest comment for the next steps.

3. Generating Replies Using Google Gemini

With the trigger set, the next step is to generate a reply using Google Gemini. In Pabbly Connect, add a new action step and select ‘Gemini’ as the application. Choose the event as ‘Generate Content’.

• If prompted, connect your Google Gemini account using the API key obtained from Google AI Studio.
• Enter a specific prompt that includes the context of your YouTube channel and FAQs.
• Map the author’s name and comment dynamically to personalize the reply.

After setting up your prompt, click ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to generate a reply. This reply will be used in the next action step to respond to the original comment.

4. Replying to YouTube Comments Automatically

The final action in this automation is to post the generated reply back to YouTube. Add a new action step in Pabbly Connect and select ‘YouTube’ again. This time, choose the event ‘Reply to a Comment’.

Use the existing connection you created earlier. Map the reply text generated by Gemini and the comment ID from the trigger.

Click ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to finalize the process. After refreshing your YouTube channel, you will see the automated reply posted under the original comment.
