Watch for new video in a YouTube playlist?

I am wondering if it is possible to have watch for new files in a YouTube playlist? I see that there is no trigger for that, like in Make and Zapier, but could there be some workaround?

Information on your n8n setup

  • n8n version: Version 1.66.0
  • Database (default: SQLite): SQLite
  • n8n EXECUTIONS_PROCESS setting (default: own, main): ??
  • Running n8n via (Docker, npm, n8n cloud, desktop app): Docker/Digital Ocean
  • Operating system: Windows

Bumping this because I am really hoping someone has a suggestion or workaround, as I really do not want to use Make or Zapier instead.

Hi @IversusAI

While we do not have a dedicated Youtube Trigger node, you could use a Schedule Trigger Node together with the normal Youtube Node.

You can have a look at our workflow templates - This one might be a good example for your use case :slight_smile:

Thank you so much, Ria! I am loving n8n, am obsessed with and have made numerous automations already.

Appreciate the help!
