Auto-Save New YouTube Playlist Videos to Raindrop Bookmarks

This workflow automates the process of monitoring a specified YouTube playlist for new videos and automatically adding them as bookmarks to a Raindrop collection. It uses a manual trigger (easily adaptable to a cron schedule) to fetch all playlist items via the YouTube node, then employs a custom function to intelligently filter only new videos by comparing against previously seen IDs stored in workflow static data. This prevents duplicates and ensures efficiency.

The workflow then flattens the JSON structure for cleaner data handling and creates a Raindrop bookmark for each new video, linking directly to the YouTube watch page with relevant metadata like title and snippet. Authentication is required for YouTube (Google OAuth) and Raindrop (API key), and users simply need to update the playlist ID and collection details.

Benefits include significant time savings for content curators, researchers, or fans tracking playlists without manual checks. Use cases span media monitoring, rights management (e.g., spotting new uploads for copyright), personal bookmarking, or integrating into broader productivity automations. It's lightweight yet powerful, scalable for multiple playlists with minor tweaks.
