FAQ

Questions about Add Comment to Video.

What does the Add Comment to Video action do in YouTube?

Posts a top-level comment on a YouTube video. Requires the youtube.force-ssl OAuth scope; the comment is posted as the authenticated channel.

Yes. Any field on this action can pull values from upstream nodes, whether that's a form response, a trigger payload, an AI output, or a lookup result.

What happens if YouTube returns an error?

The run history shows the failed step with its input and the error message YouTube returned, so you can fix the input and run the workflow again. Automatic retries are built into HTTP steps only, where you can also set your own retry count and delay.

Does Add Comment to Video support batch operations?

Run Add Comment to Video inside a loop to process each item in an array. TinyCommand does not throttle calls for you, so for large arrays add a Delay step if you need to stay within YouTube's rate limits.
