How to connect Caption AI and YouTube
Create a New Scenario to Connect Caption AI and YouTube
In the workspace, click the “Create New Scenario” button.

Add the First Step
Add the first node – a trigger that will initiate the scenario when it receives the required event. Triggers can be scheduled, called by a Caption AI, triggered by another scenario, or executed manually (for testing purposes). In most cases, Caption AI or YouTube will be your first step. To do this, click "Choose an app," find Caption AI or YouTube, and select the appropriate trigger to start the scenario.

Add the Caption AI Node
Select the Caption AI node from the app selection panel on the right.

Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring Caption AI, YouTube, and any additional nodes, don’t forget to save the scenario and click "Deploy." Activating the scenario ensures it will run automatically whenever the trigger node receives input or a condition is met. By default, all newly created scenarios are deactivated.
Test the Scenario
Run the scenario by clicking “Run once” and triggering an event to check if the Caption AI and YouTube integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Caption AI and YouTube (or vice versa). Easily troubleshoot the scenario by reviewing the execution history to identify and fix any issues.
Most powerful ways to connect Caption AI and YouTube
YouTube + Caption AI + Slack: When a new video is uploaded to a YouTube channel, an AI-generated transcript is created using Caption AI. The link to the YouTube video and the generated transcript are then sent to a dedicated Slack channel.
YouTube + Caption AI + Twitter: When a new video is uploaded to YouTube, Caption AI generates a transcript. A tweet is then posted to Twitter containing a link to the YouTube video and a shortened version of the AI-generated transcript as the tweet's text.
