Question 1

How does NoClick detect a new YouTube upload to announce in Discord?

Accepted Answer

Run the workflow on a cron schedule and use the YouTube Get My Activities or List Videos operation to find recent uploads. Compare against the last known video, and when a new one appears, call the Discord Send Message or Send Embed operation.

Question 2

Can I post a rich embed in Discord instead of a plain message?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The Discord node has a Send Embed operation that accepts a title, description, fields, and a URL. Map a YouTube video's title, thumbnail, and link into the embed so the announcement looks polished.

Question 3

Is it possible to mirror YouTube live chat into Discord?

Accepted Answer

The YouTube node can List Live Chat Messages for an active broadcast. A scheduled workflow can poll those messages and forward new ones to a Discord channel with Send Message, giving moderators a single place to watch chat.

Question 4

Can the workflow act on comments, not just read them?

Accepted Answer

Yes. After surfacing a YouTube comment in Discord, you can branch the workflow to call Delete Comment or Moderate Comment on YouTube. The Discord side can confirm the action with a follow-up message in the moderation channel.

Question 5

Do I need a Discord bot token for this?

Accepted Answer

The Discord node uses either a bot token or OAuth credential. A bot token is the usual choice for posting messages and embeds into server channels. Add the credential once on the node and the same workflow can reuse it.
