The problem it solves

You don't have time to keep refreshing YouTube to see if a competitor, partner, or favorite creator posted something new. Important videos slip by unnoticed, and by the time you see them, the conversation has moved on.

Who it fits

Marketing, content, and research teams that need to track new videos from specific YouTube channels.

How it works

  1. On a regular schedule, the system checks a list of YouTube channels for new videos
  2. It filters out YouTube Shorts and anything older than an hour
  3. Each new video is checked to avoid sending duplicate alerts
  4. A message is sent to your team chat for every new upload found
What you get

New uploads spotted the moment they post

You get an instant alert the moment one of your tracked YouTube channels posts a new video.

What you get

A chat notification with the new video's details as soon as it's published.

What you need

A RocketChat workspace with a bot account, and access to the YouTube channels you want to monitor.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
