i not able to retrieve tutorial videos from youtube

[darrell_tw]

Can you take screenshots of what’s the output?

Or what you means by not able to retrieve tutorial videos from youtube

[crisl]

also when pasting the workflow could you please use the preformatted option in the forum?

[Rahul_son_Boro]

[crisl]

ok I see the problem:

You can’t reference the output like this because this is a tool and the output isn’t created yet.

first set the prompt in the agent to expression in order to use{{ $json.message.from.first_name }} and {{ $now.toLocaleString() }}

then for the tool, let AI define the parameter

the Agent will then pass the parameter according to your prompt:

• When you need to find YouTube videos, use the youtube_search tool with a clear search query like ‘python tutorial beginner’ or ‘guitar lessons intermediate’

hope this helps

[Rahul_son_Boro]

I hit my quota of youtube i’ll tell you as soon as i get back my quota

[Rahul_son_Boro]

Thank you for the help sir but now i have this issue

This is the code

[crisl]

check the execution and see what was passed to the youtube search. Maybe update the prompt to generate a search term that is shorter.
