1. Accessing Pabbly Connect for Integration

To begin integrating YouTube with Google Contacts, you need to access Pabbly Connect. Start by visiting the Pabbly website and signing in to your account. If you’re new, you can sign up for free to explore the features available.

After logging in, navigate to the dashboard. Here, you will find various Pabbly applications. Click on Pabbly Connect to access the integration platform, where you will create a new workflow for your automation.

2. Creating a New Workflow in Pabbly Connect

In this section, you will set up a new workflow to automate the process between YouTube and Google Contacts. Click on the button labeled ‘Create Workflow’. You will be prompted to name your workflow and select a folder for organization.

• Name the workflow as ‘YouTube to Google Contacts’.
• Select the folder named ‘Automations’.

Once named, click on ‘Create’. This action will open the workflow window where you will define the trigger and action for the integration. Remember, in Pabbly Connect, triggers initiate the workflow while actions are the tasks performed as a result.

3. Setting Up the Trigger for YouTube Integration

For the integration to work, you need to define a trigger. Select YouTube as your trigger application in Pabbly Connect. You will then choose the trigger event, which is typically a new video uploaded or a specific action taken on YouTube.

After selecting the trigger event, Pabbly Connect will provide you with a webhook URL. This URL is essential as it will be used to connect your YouTube account with the workflow. Copy this URL and follow the instructions to set it up in your YouTube account settings.

4. Adding Action to Create or Update Google Contacts

Next, you will add an action step to your workflow. Choose Google Contacts as the action application in Pabbly Connect. The action event you will select is either to create a new contact or update an existing one based on the data received from YouTube.

• Select ‘Search Contact’ as the action event.
• Map the email address or name from the YouTube trigger to search for the contact.

Once the mapping is complete, you can proceed to test the workflow. This will check if the integration works correctly, ensuring that whenever a new video is uploaded, the relevant contact information is updated in Google Contacts.

5. Finalizing Your Workflow and Testing

After setting up your actions, review the entire workflow for any necessary adjustments. Ensure that the trigger from YouTube correctly leads to the action of updating Google Contacts. Once satisfied, publish your workflow in Pabbly Connect.

Finally, perform a test submission to confirm that the workflow operates as intended. This step ensures that your Google Contacts are updated seamlessly whenever an action occurs on YouTube, streamlining your contact management process.

Conclusion
