  • How to setup Zap to notify of any YouTube video uploads, including private/unlisted ones?

We have admin permissions to a client’s YouTube channel and can see any video, short, or livestream they have ever uploaded, including ones set to Private or Unlisted but it seems that the default Zap (New Video in Channel in YouTube) is only able to pull newly published public videos. Is there a way that we can have it post when ANY video is uploaded since we are authenticated with an account that should be able to see even the private and unlisted videos?

Hi @Delegator

My Zap can't find a video even though I know it exists

We can only trigger Zaps videos that are set to public.
Videos that are private or unlisted can't trigger your Zaps.

Thanks @Troy Tessalone! Is there any chance Zapier might change that eventually? Our client uploads a lot of videos as Unlisted for use in paid advertising campaigns that we’re trying to see in addition to the Public ones so we’re trying to automate a workflow that captures both Public and Unlisted videos. Currently we just have their YouTube Studio page open and manually check for new videos every day and can’t really pin down a better solution.
