Automated YouTube Video Upload Workflow

somdn_product_page

This n8n workflow automates the process of uploading videos to YouTube based on scheduled timings. It streamlines content management by fetching video data from Google Drive, uploading the video to YouTube, and updating corresponding statuses in Google Sheets. Additionally, it organizes video files by moving them into designated folders on Google Drive post-upload.

The workflow initiates with a schedule trigger set for weekdays at 9am, 12pm, and 3pm, prompting the process to start. It retrieves specific video data from Google Sheets, then fetches the video file ID from Google Drive. Using this ID, it downloads the actual video data from Google Drive, which is then uploaded to YouTube via the YouTube node.

After uploading the video, it updates the status in Google Sheets to reflect the successful upload. Next, it retrieves the target folder name from Google Drive, moving the uploaded video into that folder for organized storage. The process allows content creators and social media managers to automate routine video uploads, maintain organized video archives, and ensure timely updates across platforms.

This workflow is particularly useful for digital marketing teams, content creators, or organizations managing large volumes of video content who want to automate posting and organization to save time and reduce manual effort.
