The Zap can't connect to YouTube playlist despite playlist being public


Zapier is able to connect to my YouTube account and I have made my playlist public, but when I test the playlist connection I get an error every time. When I type the url into a browser I get the playlist without problem so I cannot figure out why my zap cant connect. I have removed all but the playlist ID in my trigger as well.

That’s great news @Cwesty! Thanks for looping back with an update here!

I’ve run into the same issue. I read your thread but don’t see anything with “si” in the URL link. Does this integration only work with a specific playlist? It says channel so I thought it would work with my channel overall. I don’t use playlists but I’m trying to get Zapier to create a Facebook post every time there’s a new video published to my YouTube channel.

Hi there @EncounterGrace,

Before we dig deeper into this, would you mind sharing a detailed screenshot of how your Zap is configured? Also, please share a screenshot of the “Action” section of your action step that shows all of its fields. Like so:

Please don't include personal information in the screenshot, or be sure blur out any personal information.

Thanks!
