Setting up Zap to do social sharing from YouTube triggered by new video upload.  I cannot get Zapier to identify the channel…. help suggests finding the character string between channel/dhjsa;hfdkjajk/videos

But I don’t get that as my channel has a custom id https://www.youtube.com/user/UKRowperfect/videos

I get error Unable to find the playlistId for the specified channel 

Suggestions? 

Sorted…. 

Find your channel's user ID & channel ID

You can see your channel's user and channel IDs in your advanced account settings.

  2. In the top right, click your profile picture and then Settings Settings.
  3. From the left Menu, select Advanced settings.
  4. You’ll see your channel’s user and channel IDs.

Could a call out to the channel resource using a Zapier Code step help?

Thanks for letting us know that you found the answer @RCaroe! 🙌
