Scheduled YouTube Video Uploads with Google Sheets & Drive

This n8n workflow automates the entire YouTube video publishing process, integrating Google Sheets for metadata management, Google Drive for file storage, and the YouTube API for seamless uploads. It triggers on a schedule (Monday-Friday at 9 AM, 12 PM, and 3 PM), reads rows from a designated Google Sheet containing video titles, descriptions, filenames, and status, then locates the corresponding video files in Drive, downloads them, and uploads to YouTube with the provided metadata. After successful upload, it updates the sheet status to prevent re-processing and moves the file to an archive folder for organization.

Key benefits include eliminating manual uploads, ensuring consistent posting schedules, reducing errors in metadata handling, and maintaining organized file structures. It's highly efficient for scaling content production, saving hours of repetitive work weekly.

Ideal for content creators, marketers, YouTube managers, and social media teams. Requires Google Sheets with columns for Title, Description, File Name, and Status; videos in Drive; YouTube API credentials; and predefined folders. Perfect for automating video pipelines from AI-generated content or editorial workflows.
