Does Zapier's YouTube trigger work with scheduled videos or only with immediate uploads?

The only YouTube Trigger options are on New Video… which is fine and works perfectly.  My question is, I upload video’s that are scheduled to be viewable the next day.  Will the zap trigger when I upload or if it will wait if it sees it’s scheduled?  If not, does anyone have a work around for this scenario?

Hi there @spinman,

The Zap will trigger if the video is listed as public after the scheduled time has passed. If the video is set to "private" or "unlisted," the Zap will not trigger.

To test this, have you tried scheduling an upload in YouTube and verifying if the Zap triggers after the scheduled time has passed?

Thanks for the information.  I will test this today.

Just wanted to check in here to see how you got on with this. Did the scheduled test work as hoped?
