YouTube integration changelog
Track the latest updates, new features, and improvements
v2.1.0 – 12 Aug. 2026
– Improvement: Triggers now expose named fields at the top level — video_id, comment_text, author_name, thumbnail_url and the rest — instead of only the nested YouTube paths
– Improvement: Nested objects such as snippet are kept whole as JSON, so they can be passed on or parsed downstream
– Improvement: The same field names are used across all five triggers, and New Video in Playlist now reports the video’s own ID rather than the playlist entry ID
– Improvement: Nested objects are no longer also exploded into snippet_a_b_c keys, which listed the same value three times; a captured comment is now 20 fields instead of 41
– Improvement: Removed a duplicate Choose Connect dropdown from the API trigger settings
– Fixed: The response captured in the workflow editor matches what the workflow receives when it runs; the two disagreed before
– Note: Workflows built on the 2.0.0 API triggers that reference a snippet_… field must switch to the named field (for example comment_text). New Video in Channel is unaffected.
v2.0.0 – 3 Aug. 2026
– New: Rebuilt on the YouTube Data API v3 with a Google OAuth connect, replacing the RSS-only integration
– New: 29 actions covering videos, playlists, playlist items, channels, subscriptions, comments and search
– New: Upload Video action that pulls the file from any URL and sets title, description, tags, category, privacy and schedule
– New: Set Thumbnail action to attach a custom thumbnail from a URL
– New: 4 polling triggers — New Video in Playlist, New Comment, New Subscriber and New Liked Video
– New: Channel, playlist and category dropdowns are populated live in the workflow builder
– Improvement: New Video in Channel keeps working without a connect and still fetches the video transcript
v1.0 – 11 Nov. 2024
– Initial release
