How to connect Kintone and YouTube
Create a New Scenario to Connect Kintone 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 Kintone, triggered by another scenario, or executed manually (for testing purposes). In most cases, Kintone or YouTube will be your first step. To do this, click "Choose an app," find Kintone or YouTube, and select the appropriate trigger to start the scenario.
Add the Kintone Node
Select the Kintone node from the app selection panel on the right.

Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring Kintone, 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 Kintone and YouTube integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Kintone 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 Kintone and YouTube
YouTube + Kintone + Slack: When a new video is uploaded to a YouTube channel, the automation finds a matching project record in Kintone using video title or description. Then, it sends a message to a Slack channel with a link to the YouTube video and the corresponding Kintone record.
Kintone + YouTube + Google Sheets: When a record is updated in Kintone (indicating a video release), the automation retrieves video performance data from YouTube (views, likes). Then, it adds this data to a Google Sheet for tracking and analysis.
