The trigger is showing me private video with a private video link but if i go to the playlist of that trigger i can see a new video with a different link and that video was never triggered, this started happening a couple weeks ago idk how to fix it, please help.

Welcome to the Community.
If your YouTube Zap is triggering on a private video instead of new videos in your playlist, ensure the Zap is set to trigger on "New video in playlist" with the correct playlist selected. Check that new videos are uploaded directly as "Public," as Zaps don't trigger on videos initially set to "Private." Reconnecting your YouTube account and reviewing the Zap History for errors may help resolve the issue.
Please try it and let us know if you have any issues. We're here to help!
I tried reconnecting i even tried replacing the youtube user and following the channel im trying to trigger and it didn’t help, this trigger worked fine before it stopped working lately. i tried a few other playlists and same thing is happening there, it’s also happening if i define just to a channel. i dont see any errors in the history, is there a special place i should look for them? also on the test screen when it tries to pull the latest records it also cant recognize those videos even though i can see them on youtube so they aren’t private.
i also tested if the video is the issue so i did a trigger by search and it did find the video but if i do by playlist or channel it doesn’t.

It looks like you’ve reached out to our Support Team about this and they replied with a suggestion. I’ll share details of the suggestion here in case it’s helpful:
It appears that while the video link we receive from the trigger matches the one sent to Discord, the link is still the same. However, when you check your playlist through Facebook, the videos are public, and you’re not getting triggers for these public videos.
We accessed the videos on this Zap run: Run Details. The video link is consistent with the trigger, but the title and description show as private, as seen in this:

To better understand what’s happening on your end, could you please record how the trigger behaves using a service like Loom and share the link with us? This would help us see the issue from your perspective and assist you better.
I'll keep an eye out for your response here. Please get back to me when you can. I'm keen to get this sorted for you.
Kind regards,
