To do this, click "Choose an app," find Captions or YouTube, and select the appropriate trigger to start the scenario.

Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring Captions, 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 Captions and YouTube integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Captions 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 Captions and YouTube
YouTube + Captions + Slack: When a new video is uploaded to YouTube, the workflow retrieves subtitles for it. Then, a notification with the video link and generated captions is sent to a designated Slack channel for team review.
YouTube + Captions + Google Sheets: When a new video is uploaded to YouTube, the workflow generates captions for it and retrieves video information. It then logs the video title, view count, and caption status in a Google Sheets spreadsheet for performance reporting.
