Automatically Update YouTube Video Descriptions with Inserted Text

Who Should Use This Workflow

• YouTubers looking to update multiple video descriptions efficiently without manual edits.
• Content Creators who frequently need to add links or text to their video descriptions for consistency.
• Social Media Managers managing multiple YouTube channels and needing a streamlined process for updates.

What Problem Does This Workflow Solve

This workflow addresses the challenge of manually editing video descriptions across multiple YouTube videos. It allows users to automatically insert a specified row of text between two existing rows in the descriptions, ensuring uniformity and saving time, especially for those with a large library of videos.

Detailed Explanation of the Workflow Process

1. Manual Trigger: The workflow is initiated manually by the user.
2. Set String to Insert: Users define the text to be inserted, specifying the rows before and after which the new text will be added.
3. Get All Videos: The workflow retrieves a list of the most recent videos from the user's YouTube channel, limited to 3 videos.
4. Loop Over Videos: The workflow processes each video one by one.
5. Get Specific Video: For each video, the workflow fetches details such as the current description and other metadata.
6. Create New Video Description with Row Inserted: A code function is executed to manipulate the description by inserting the specified text between the designated rows.
7. Update Video Description: Finally, the updated description is sent back to YouTube to update the video’s metadata.
