Channel management and video metadata on YouTube
YouTube on Tiny Command is the channel-management and video-metadata surface for creators and brands. Eight actions cover the operational reach: Get Channel, Get Channel Statistics (subscribers, views, total watch time over a period), List My Uploaded Videos, Get Video (full metadata for a specific video), Update Video Metadata (title, description, tags, category, common for SEO-driven title/description updates after publish), Add Comment to Video, List Playlists, Search Videos. No triggers today (YouTube's native push notifications via PubSubHubbub are limited to channel feeds; native triggers ship in the next release). The integration uses Google OAuth with the youtube.upload and youtube.force-ssl scopes. Common patterns: a scheduled workflow runs Get Channel Statistics for the previous week, formats into a Slack digest with growth metrics, and flags videos that overperformed for repromotion; or a CMS workflow that publishes a blog post also calls Update Video Metadata to keep the related YouTube video's description in sync with the latest narrative.
Do anything YouTube can do, from a workflow.
Every action accepts dynamic inputs from upstream nodes, whether that's an AI output, a form field, or a search result.
| Action | What it does |
|---|---|
| Add Comment to Video | Posts a top-level comment on a YouTube video. Requires the youtube.force-ssl OAuth scope; the comment is posted as the authenticated channel. |
| Get Channel | Returns details of a YouTube channel (title, description, custom URL, country, branding settings, topics) by channel ID or handle. |
| Get Channel Stats | Returns a channel's statistics: subscriber count (rounded by YouTube above 1000), total views, and total video count. Used for creator dashboards and growth trackers. |
| Get Video | Returns details of a YouTube video by ID: title, description, thumbnails, duration, privacy status, and statistics. The standard read after a trigger fires with a video ID. |
| List My Videos | Lists videos uploaded by the authenticated channel. Used for catalog exports, batch updates, or to build "latest videos" widgets. |
| List Playlists | Lists playlists owned by the authenticated YouTube channel with title, item count, and privacy. Used to populate a playlist picker before adding a video. |
| Search Videos | Searches YouTube for videos matching a query, with filters for channel, duration, and upload date. Each search call costs 100 quota units; cache results aggressively. |
| Update Video | Updates a YouTube video's metadata: title, description, tags, category, or privacy status. Tag/description SEO-refresh flows lean on this heavily. |

Three things worth knowing.
Tiny Command counts a run the moment a trigger fires. Filtering early means only matching events spend your usage budget.
Connect YouTube once and every workflow on your account can use its triggers and actions. You don't have to re-auth per workflow.
Every YouTube field shows up in the visual picker for downstream nodes. The raw payload is there for power users, optional for everyone else.
