Who this is for

This workflow is for content creators, digital marketers, or YouTube strategists who want to automatically discover trending videos in their niche, analyze engagement metrics, and get data-driven insights for their content strategy — all from one simple form submission.

What this workflow does

This workflow starts every time someone submits the YouTube Trends Finder Form. It then:

  • Searches YouTube videos based on your topic and specified time range using the YouTube Data API.
  • Fetches detailed analytics (views, likes, comments, engagement rates) for each video found.
  • Calculates engagement rates and filters out low-performing content (below 2% engagement).
  • Applies smart filters to exclude videos with less than 1000 views, content outside your timeframe, and hashtag-heavy titles.
  • Removes duplicate videos to ensure clean data.
  • Creates a Google Spreadsheet with all trending video data organized by performance metrics.
  • Delivers the results via a completion form with a direct link to your analytics report.

Setup

To set this workflow up:

  1. Form Trigger – Customize the "YouTube Trends Finder" form fields if needed (Topic Name, Last How Many Days).
  2. YouTube Data API – Add your YouTube OAuth2 credentials and API key in the respective nodes.
  3. Google Sheets – Connect your Google Sheets account for automatic report generation.
  4. Engagement Filters – Adjust the 2% engagement rate threshold based on your quality standards.
  5. View Filters – Modify the minimum view count (currently 1000+) in the filter conditions.
  6. Regional Settings – Update the region code (currently "US") to target specific geographic markets.

How to customize this workflow to your needs

  • Change the engagement rate threshold to be more or less strict based on your niche requirements.
  • Add additional filters like video duration, subscriber count, or specific keywords to refine results.
  • Modify the Google Sheets structure to include extra metrics like "Channel Name", "Video Duration", or "Trending Score".
  • Switch to different output formats like CSV export or direct email reports instead of Google Sheets.
