Do you want to stay updated with your favorite YouTuber's latest videos or share your content with your server? Add the YouTube Bot! It's quick and easy and ensures you and your community get all the great content. Let's get you set up!

  • Set the YouTube channel you want to see the latest videos from
  • Decide where you want the results to post on your server, and you're set!
  • The YouTube Bot will take care of the rest.

We've set up an initial flow with a trigger for the Guilded YouTube channel. This way, you'll always be in the loop with our latest updates and tutorials.

  • Head over to your server settings and select Manage bots

  • Select YouTube Bot under the Server bots menu
  • Click add 

  • Now click the Flows tab, then the three-dot menu on the flow, and click Edit.

  • Click the Edit button on the YouTube video published flow

  • Go to the YouTube channel you want to follow, copy the link, paste that link into the YouTube Channel URL field, and click Next.

Important: YouTube channel links can be used in the following format - 

Link to channel with channel ID e.g., https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_-1XIhVjWmjrcIVkltONkQ

Custom URL e.g., https://www.youtube.com/c/guildedgg

YouTube Handle e.g.: https://www.youtube.com/@teamguilded 

Note: Playlists links will not work in bot flows 

  • In the Send a custom message flow, click the Edit button to make any changes here.

Note: If you are happy with the default setup, click Save.

  • In the Actionflow, you can change the channel you want your bot to post to from the drop-down list and edit the message in the With content field. Customize the content of the message. In the message field, type $ to access your Templating options.

Important: You must ensure that the YouTube bot has permission for the channels it posts to, or the bot may not work as intended.

  • Once you are happy with your changes, click Next, then click Save

And there you have it! You're ready to make the most of the YouTube Bot on your server. Remember, this is just the beginning. Explore, experiment, and find what works best for your community.
