Hello, I would like to know if Zapier can perform this specific function that I've been trying to make work for days:
Firstly, I would like it to access a specific folder on my Google Drive, retrieve all the files inside (specifically .mp4 files), read a .txt file or a Google Sheet as a reference, and automatically upload the videos to YouTube using the data from the .txt file or Google Sheet to write the titles and descriptions for each of the videos in the folder that are referenced in the .txt file or Google Sheet.
Practical example: Inside the Google Drive folder, there will be several videos (e.g., 1.mp4, 2.mp4, 3.mp4). Inside the reference file, if it's a .txt file, it would look like this:
1.mp4
<Video Title>
<Video Description>
2.mp4
<Video Title>
<Video Description>
3.mp4
<Video Title>
<Video Description>
If it were a spreadsheet, each row would refer to a different video, with the first column being the file name, the second column the video title, and the third column the video description.
If was a spreadsheet, it would look like this:
| 1.mp4 | <Video Title (From 1.mp4)> | <Video Description (From 1.mp4)> |
| 2.mp4 | <Video Title (From 2.mp4)> | <Video Description (From 2.mp4)> |
| 3.mp4 | <Video Title (From 3.mp4)> | <Video Description (From 3.mp4)> |
So, using this file, the action would take the file with the same name from the folder, upload it to YouTube, set the title and description according to the reference, and post it automatically.
Note that this should happen for all videos present in the folder. The trigger could be a new file (I'm not sure) or it could be a manual trigger. If has 40 videos on the folder, the action needs to do this 40 times, each one per video.
If someone can help me, please do a quick tutorial to how do this. I’m kind a new here
I have spent days trying to use Zapier's own AI and others, researching tutorials, and I still couldn't get it to work. Can you help, please?
