Digest New YouTube Videos to Slack with AI & Sheets
Automates fetching new YouTube videos from RSS feeds in Google Sheets, extracts subtitles via RapidAPI, summarizes with GPT-4o-mini, and posts formatted digests to Slack, preventing duplicates.
This workflow monitors specified YouTube channels by pulling RSS feeds from a Google Sheet every 10 minutes. It fetches and parses feeds using HTTP and XML nodes, filtering only brand-new videos. For each new video, it retrieves title and description via YouTube API, then grabs English subtitles using RapidAPI.
Next, code nodes prepare an AI prompt payload, and OpenAI's GPT-4o-mini generates a concise JSON summary and key takeaways formatted as an article. A formatter converts this into Slack B
