Social media integration

YouTube integration for AI workflows.

keep your YouTube channel moving: refresh video details, answer and moderate comments, and react to new uploads.

Live

In short

Fluxo Flow connects to YouTube by signing in to YouTube; workflows can get my channel and its stats, list my videos and get a video and its stats and more, and start from new video on my channel and new comment on my videos. The integration is live.

Live means tested end to end against real accounts. Found a problem? Tell us.

FAQ

YouTube questions, answered.

Is this the same as my Google connection?

No. YouTube has its own connection and its own Google permission screen, so connecting it doesn't change what your Google (Sheets, Gmail, Calendar…) connection can do. Note: disconnecting Google itself at Google (myaccount.google.com → Security → third-party access) removes YouTube access too.

Is there a limit on how much I can do?

Yes. Google gives Fluxo Flow a shared YouTube allowance of 10,000 units a day, reset at midnight Pacific time. Reading costs 1 unit; updating a video, replying or moderating costs 50. When it runs out, steps wait until it resets.

Can it upload videos?

Not yet. It reads your channel, updates video details and works with comments.

Which comments can I moderate?

Comments on videos of the channel you connected. YouTube only lets the channel owner moderate them.

Is Fluxo Flow verified by Google for YouTube?

Yes. Google reviewed and approved Fluxo Flow's YouTube access, so Google's screen shows Fluxo Flow and the YouTube permission it asks for, with no warning.

Is the YouTube integration ready to use?

Yes. YouTube is live: connect it in Settings → Integrations on any plan, including Free (on Free you can build with it and Dry Run; running it live needs a paid plan).

What happens if the connection expires?

Access tokens are renewed automatically. If YouTube revokes access (for example, the person who connected it leaves), steps that use the connection fail and show the error in the run trace; reconnect in Settings → Integrations.

Can I call YouTube endpoints the integration doesn't cover?

Yes, if YouTube has an API: save a key in the encrypted credential vault and call it with an HTTP Request step.

Can I test a workflow without touching my real data?

Yes. Dry Run walks through every step with simulated app calls, so nothing is sent until you run it for real or activate its trigger.
