Hi.

I’ve read all of this: https://help.zapier.com/hc/en-us/articles/8495991159693 and this 

 

Neither seem to address the topic of “what is the username we are supposed to fill out”?

Here’s the profile I’m trying to follow: https://www.youtube.com/@theentertainmentreel/

For example

or

no matter what, i see:

Any help?

Thanks

@jtoeman unfortunately yes. I know that’s not the best news in the world, but if you would like someone to take a closer look, or see if there is a possible workaround, you can always reach out to our Support Team! I find them to be super helpful, even as an employee 😆

@chanelle I’m also experiencing this issue. Has there been any updates in the last few months?

Hey there folks 👋 I’m very sorry about us missing your replies here previously. And thank you all for your patience on this.

@align432YOGA, @SamThatsRdd, @pra, @itsTimboFlex, @Vaidas dubaka, @tom_burrow, @sebi2121 - Happy to confirm that you’re all on the list of folks being affected so we can notify you as soon as it’s been resolved. 

In the meantime, I wanted to share that it seems that Google has deprecated Youtube usernames.

Newer YouTube Channels would be assigned a Channel ID number, only much older YouTube accounts would have a username. If you’ve got a newer YouTube account that’s only got a Channel ID you’ll need to use the New Video In Channel trigger instead. If you’re unsure of where to find your Username/Channel ID please check out Google’s Find your YouTube user & channel IDs help guide to learn more. Hope that helps. 🙂
