How to connect YouTube and Telegram

Step 1: Create a new workflow
Step 2: Add and configure nodes
Step 3: Connect
Step 4: Customize and extend your integration
Step 5: Test and activate your workflow

Step 1: Create a new workflow and add the first step

In n8n, click the "Add workflow" button in the Workflows tab to create a new workflow. Add the starting point – a trigger on when your workflow should run: an app event, a schedule, a webhook call, another workflow, an AI chat, or a manual trigger. Sometimes, the HTTP Request node might already serve as your starting point.

Step 2: Add and configure YouTube and Telegram nodes

You can find YouTube and Telegram in the nodes panel. Drag them onto your workflow canvas, selecting their actions. Click each node, choose a credential, and authenticate to grant n8n access. Configure YouTube and Telegram nodes one by one: input data on the left, parameters in the middle, and output data on the right.

Step 3: Connect YouTube and Telegram

A connection establishes a link between YouTube and Telegram (or vice versa) to route data through the workflow. Data flows from the output of one node to the input of another. You can have single or multiple connections for each node.

Step 4: Customize and extend your YouTube and Telegram integration

Use n8n's core nodes such as If, Split Out, Merge, and others to transform and manipulate data. Write custom JavaScript or Python in the Code node and run it as a step in your workflow. Connect YouTube and Telegram with any of n8n’s 1000+ integrations, and incorporate advanced AI logic into your workflows.

Step 5: Test and activate your YouTube and Telegram workflow

Save and run the workflow to see if everything works as expected. Based on your configuration, data should flow from YouTube to Telegram or vice versa. Easily debug your workflow: you can check past executions to isolate and fix the mistake. Once you've tested everything, make sure to save your workflow and activate it.

Send new YouTube channel videos to Telegram

A simple node to send new YouTube videos from a channel to a Telegram chat (private, group or channel).
CheckTime: set how often videos should be fetched from YouTube. Default is 30 minutes.
GetVideosYT: this node will fetch the list of videos from a given channel. Here you need to specify on "Limit" the number of videos to fetch, and on "Channel ID" the ID of the desired channel (it should be the ending part of the URL). You need Google OAuth2 credentials to make it work. A guide is available here. (If you use n8n's tunneling, you may need to adjust the OAuth callback URL on Google Cloud Platform)
Set: this node will set some variables to work easily with the next nodes. You shouldn't edit this.
Function: this node checks if the video was seen previously by the workflow, so that it won't be published a second time on Telegram. You shouldn't edit this.
SendVideo: this node sends the message to Telegram. You need to set your bot's credentials (guide here), specify the Chat ID to send the message (how to get) and personalize the Text of your message.

This workflow works correctly only when it's activated. If you manually execute the workflow, it will send every time the latest videos.
