  • In this flow, you can change the channel you want your bot to post to from the drop-down list, and you can 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 permissions for the channels it is posting to, or the bot may not work as intended.
