What it does

Each integration step this workflow runs, in order, what it is for, and the conditions and loops that decide when it runs.

  1. 1YouTubeChannel detailsReads your channel's name for the document title and finds its uploads playlist, where the recent videos are listed.
  2. 2YouTubePlaylist itemsReads the most recent videos from the uploads playlist, taking each one's id and current title.
  3. 3Google DocsCreate documentCreates a fresh Google Doc named with your channel and the date, so no existing document is ever overwritten.
  4. 4Google DocsAppend textWrites the introduction, each video's link and drafted metadata, and the drafted and skipped counts into the document.
  5. For each video

    1. If videoId is not empty and videoTitle is not empty

      1. 5YouTubeVideo detailsFetches each video's current description, which with its title is all the AI is allowed to draft from.
      2. 6AnthropicGenerate model responseAsks the AI for alternative titles, a fuller description and tags from the current title and description, inventing nothing.
      3. If draftText is not empty and draftText does not start with “NOT ENOUGH INFORMATION”

        1. 7Google DocsInsert headingInserts each video's current title as a heading so the document has one section per drafted video.

How it works

What happens on each run, in plain English.

Every Monday at 09:00, your most recent uploads are read from YouTube and, for each one, AI drafts alternative titles, a fuller description and a list of tags. Everything lands in a new Google Doc, one section per video, with a link back so you can compare the draft against what is live.

Nothing is published. The workflow can only read your channel, so the document is a working draft and you copy whatever you want to keep into YouTube Studio yourself. A fresh document is created on every run, so nothing you already use is ever overwritten. Every suggestion is written from that video's own current title and description, and the AI is told to invent nothing: a video with too little to go on is recorded as skipped rather than given a made-up title, and the drafted and skipped counts are written at the end. One video that cannot be read is logged and skipped.

You need your YouTube channel ID and connections to YouTube and Google Docs.
