• Name the workflow based on your objective, such as ‘Send New Published YouTube Video Details on Microsoft Teams’.
• Select the folder where you want to save your workflow.
• Click on the ‘Create’ button to proceed.

After creating the workflow, you will see two boxes labeled ‘Trigger’ and ‘Action’. The trigger is the event that starts the workflow, while the action is what happens as a result.

3. Setting Up the Trigger for YouTube

The next step in Pabbly Connect is to set up the trigger for your workflow. Search for YouTube in the trigger application box and select it. For the trigger event, choose ‘New Video in Channel with Video URL’.

Next, click on ‘Connect’ and then select ‘Add New Connection’. You will need to authorize Pabbly Connect to access your YouTube account. After granting permission, select your channel ID from the dropdown menu.

• Click on ‘Connect with YouTube’ and follow the prompts to complete the connection.
• Once connected, you can test the trigger to ensure it’s working correctly.

After successfully connecting, you can see the response data from your latest video, including the title, description, and URL. This data will be used in the next steps for sending notifications.

4. Setting Up the Action for Microsoft Teams

Now that your trigger is set up in Pabbly Connect, it’s time to set up the action to send messages to Microsoft Teams. In the action box, search for Microsoft Teams and select it.

Choose the action event ‘Send Message in a Channel’ and then connect Microsoft Teams with Pabbly Connect by clicking on ‘Connect’. You will need to authorize Pabbly Connect to access your Microsoft Teams account as well.

Select the team and channel where you want to send the message. Compose the message, including dynamic data such as the video title, URL, and publish date.

Once you’ve mapped the necessary fields, click on ‘Save and Test’. If everything is set up correctly, you should receive a confirmation response indicating that the message was sent successfully.

5. Confirming the Integration and Testing

After setting up the action in Pabbly Connect, it’s crucial to confirm that the integration works as intended. Go to your Microsoft Teams channel and check for the notification message.

Once you publish a new video on your YouTube channel, a message should automatically appear in your selected Microsoft Teams channel with the details of the new video. This includes the title, URL, and publish date.

Ensure that the message reads: ‘New YouTube video published: [Title] – [Video URL] – Published on [Date]’. This confirms that the automation between YouTube and Microsoft Teams is functioning correctly.

With this setup, your marketing team will always be notified of new video uploads, enhancing collaboration and ensuring timely promotions.
