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!

To add to Ria’s reply, we recently improved our Remove Duplicates node with an option to discard previously processed items, see:
