Expanded YouTube piece Triggers & Actions

Summary: The current YouTube integration in Activepieces is too limited to cover practical and scalable automation use cases. Competitor tools like Make offer 14+ modules including advanced actions like uploading videos, managing playlists, replying to comments, updating metadata, and watching new interactions.

Current Limitation in Activepieces:

  • Only one basic trigger: "New Video in Channel"

  • Only one action: "Custom API Call"

What’s Missing: Here’s what other tools (like Make) already provide:

Triggers:

  • Watch New Comments

  • Watch Videos by Search

  • Watch Videos in a Channel

  • Watch Videos in a Playlist

Actions:

  • Upload a Video

  • Set a Video Thumbnail

  • Add a Video to Playlist

  • Create/Update/Delete Playlist

  • Reply to a Comment

  • Update Channel Details

  • Update Channel Banner

  • Update Video Metadata

Why It Matters: To build meaningful automations, especially for marketers, content creators, and agencies, we need:

  • Full control over content publishing (e.g., auto-upload from Drive or Dropbox)

  • Engagement automation (replying to comments, liking videos, adding to playlists)

  • Branding workflows (updating thumbnails, banners, metadata)

Impact:

  • Unlocks advanced YouTube automation use cases

  • Saves time managing YouTube channels

  • Makes Activepieces competitive with Make, Zapier, and Pabbly

Thank you for considering an upgrade to the YouTube integration!
