Automatically sync new YouTube channel videos to an RSS feed

This automation template allows users to monitor a specific YouTube channel for new video uploads and automatically generate an RSS feed containing the video details.

The generated RSS feed can then be used in feed readers or other automation tools to stay up-to-date with the latest content from the targeted YouTube channel. This solution is aimed at video and media enthusiasts who want to streamline their content consumption and distribution workflows.

How Latenode estimates time and cost

Latenode bills workflow runs in credits: 1 credit = 30 seconds of processing. Minimum charge per run depends on your plan. Plug-and-Play (PnP) AI nodes are billed separately—each PnP token is $1 USD, charged pay-as-you-go at vendor cost plus a small processing fee, with no API keys required.
