2. Configuring Google Drive as a Trigger in Pabbly Connect

In this step, you will set Google Drive as the trigger application in your Pabbly Connect workflow. This allows the system to monitor a specific folder for new video uploads.

• Select the specific folder where your videos will be uploaded.

• Allow access to your Google Drive for Pabbly Connect.

After setting up the trigger, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to confirm that Pabbly Connect can detect new files in your Google Drive folder.

3. Fetching SEO Data from Google Sheets

Next, you will need to retrieve the SEO details for the uploaded video from Google Sheets using Pabbly Connect. This ensures your video has the proper title, description, and tags.

Add an action step and select Google Sheets as the application. Choose the event ‘Lookup Spreadsheet Rows V2’ to search for the relevant SEO information based on the video title captured from the previous step.

• Connect your Google Sheets account by clicking on the ‘Connect’ button.
• Specify the spreadsheet and sheet where your SEO data is stored.
• Map the title from the previous step as the lookup value.

Once you have mapped the data and saved the step, Pabbly Connect will fetch the SEO details, allowing you to use them in the next step.

4. Uploading Video to YouTube via Pabbly Connect

Now that you have the video file and its corresponding SEO details, it’s time to upload the video to YouTube using Pabbly Connect. Select YouTube as your action application and choose the event ‘Upload Video’.

Connect your YouTube account by clicking on the ‘Connect’ button and granting Pabbly Connect the necessary permissions. Map the Google Drive file ID and the SEO details (title, description, and tags) to the respective fields in the YouTube upload form.

Ensure the video file is publicly accessible in Google Drive. Set the visibility status of the video (e.g., Pabbly or private). Map the category ID based on your video type.

Once you have completed the setup, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to upload the video to your YouTube channel. You will receive a response confirming the upload status.

5. Tracking Video Upload Status with Pabbly Connect

To keep track of the upload status of your videos, you can utilize a webhook feature in Pabbly Connect. This allows you to receive updates on the processing status of your uploaded videos.

Create a new workflow in Pabbly Connect for tracking. Set the trigger application to ‘Webhook by Pabbly’ and select the event ‘Catch Webhook’. Copy the generated webhook URL and paste it into the YouTube upload step under the webhook URL field.

Create a new workflow specifically for tracking upload status. Map the webhook URL to receive upload status updates. Test the webhook to ensure it captures the upload status correctly.

With this setup, you can easily monitor whether your videos are successfully uploaded or still processing, making your workflow efficient and hassle-free.
