Your channel team, from the editor to the community manager, works in Slack, while the action happens on YouTube. FlowMattic posts new uploads for the team to share, sends comments and viewer questions to the people who reply, marks subscriber milestones and drops a weekly channel summary into Slack, all from your WordPress site.

Each one uses only triggers and actions the two integrations ship today, plus FlowMattic's own tools. Where the library has a ready-made template, import it instead of building from scratch.
Ready-made templateAs soon as a video is published on your channel, the team gets the title and link in Slack and can share it on social and in the newsletter.

View the template Comments on your videos reach a Slack channel with the commenter, text and video, so whoever is on community duty replies while the video is still fresh.
New CommentSend Channel Message
An AI Agent decides whether a comment asks a question, and a Filter passes only those to a private channel, where the creator answers the ones that need their own voice.

A Counter goes up with each new subscriber and a Filter lets every hundredth through, so the channel marks milestones instead of posting each subscription.

A trigger starts a workflow. An action is something FlowMattic does in the app as a step.
YouTube and Slack connect through FlowMattic on your own site, with no separate automation account in the middle and no charge per run.
Upload announcements reach the people who post on social and write the newsletter, without anyone watching YouTube Studio.
Questions are separated from general praise, so the creator spends time on the replies that need them.
FlowMattic runs on your own WordPress site with unlimited runs, so a video that takes off does not raise your bill.
Connect YouTube and Slack under Connects, create a workflow with the New Video in Channel trigger for your channel and add Send Channel Message with the title and link. Switch it on and each new video is announced.
Yes. Use the New Comment trigger with Send Channel Message. Add a Filter on the video ID if you only want comments from certain videos, or an AI Agent to pick out questions.
New Video in Channel watches the channel you specify, so you can point it at a public channel you follow and post its uploads to a research channel in Slack.
Not from a Slack message with the workflows on this page. YouTube Reply to Comment is available as an action, so a workflow started by New Comment can reply on its own, for example with a thank-you.
No. The Counter starts from the number you give it. Set the starting value to your current subscriber count so milestones match what YouTube shows.
