2. Creating a Workflow in Pabbly Connect

Once logged into Pabbly Connect, the next step is to create a new workflow that will connect YouTube and Microsoft Teams. Click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button to get started.

• Name your workflow, for example, ‘Send New YouTube Video Details to Microsoft Teams’.
• Select the folder where this workflow will be saved.
• Click on ‘Create’ to proceed to the workflow setup.

After creating your workflow, you will see two main sections: Trigger and Action. The Trigger is the event that starts the workflow, while the Action is what happens as a result.

3. Setting Up the Trigger for YouTube

In this section, you will set up the Trigger using Pabbly Connect. Search for the YouTube application and select it as your Trigger application.

Choose the trigger event as ‘New Video in Channel with Video URL’. After selecting this, click on ‘Connect’ to link your YouTube account with Pabbly Connect. You will need to authorize Pabbly to access your YouTube account.

• Select your channel ID from the options provided.
• Ensure that you receive a response from YouTube confirming the connection.

Once the connection is established, Pabbly Connect will poll for new video uploads every 10 minutes, ensuring your workflow is up to date.

4. Configuring Action to Send Messages in Microsoft Teams

Now that the Trigger is set up, it’s time to configure the Action in Pabbly Connect. Search for Microsoft Teams and select it as your Action application.

Choose the action event as ‘Send Message in a Channel’. You will then need to connect your Microsoft Teams account with Pabbly Connect by providing the necessary permissions.

Select the team and channel where you want to send notifications. Compose your message, including details like video title, URL, and publish date.

This setup allows your marketing team to receive automatic notifications every time a new video is published on your YouTube channel.

5. Testing and Finalizing the Integration

After configuring both the Trigger and Action in Pabbly Connect, it’s time to test the workflow. Click on ‘Save and Test’ to ensure everything is working correctly.

Once you receive a positive response, check your Microsoft Teams channel to verify that the notification message has been sent successfully. It should include the video title, URL, and publish date, making it easy for your team to access the latest content.

This integration is now complete! Every time you publish a new video, the details will automatically be sent to your team in Microsoft Teams, streamlining your communication and ensuring everyone stays informed.
