Question 1

Can a new spreadsheet row trigger a YouTube upload?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The Google Sheets node has an On New Row trigger. When a row is added, the workflow can read its fields and call the YouTube Upload Video operation, mapping the title, description, and file reference from that row.

Question 2

How do I build a YouTube analytics dashboard in Sheets?

Accepted Answer

Run the workflow on a cron schedule, call YouTube Get Channel Analytics, Get Top Videos, and Get Traffic Sources, then use the Google Sheets Append operation to add the numbers as a dated row.

Question 3

Can I bulk-update videos from a spreadsheet?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Read a range of rows with the Google Sheets Read operation, loop over the video IDs, and call the YouTube Update Video operation for each to change titles, descriptions, tags, or privacy status.

Question 4

Can the workflow write results back to the same sheet?

Accepted Answer

After a YouTube upload, the Google Sheets Write operation can place the returned video ID and URL into the originating row, so the spreadsheet always reflects what is live on the channel.

Question 5

Do both nodes use the same Google login?

Accepted Answer

They use Google OAuth credentials, configured separately per node. Add a credential with Sheets scope to the Google Sheets node and one with YouTube scope to the YouTube node.
