How does this automation work?
Streamlining data collection from YouTube channels into a manageable format is essential for content creators, marketers, and researchers. With Bardeen's Playbook, you can easily save information from a YouTube channel's about page directly into Google Sheets, bypassing the tedious manual process. This workflow is particularly useful for those who need to aggregate and analyze channel information for competitor analysis, market research, or content strategy development.
Here's how this workflow saves a YouTube channel's about information into Google Sheets:
- Step 1: Scrape YouTube Channel Info - Bardeen's Scraper is used to extract data from the currently active YouTube channel's about page. This step is configured to use a specific scraper template for YouTube profiles.
- Step 2: Save to Google Sheets - The data scraped from the YouTube channel is then added to a specified Google Sheets spreadsheet. Google Sheets allows for collaborative data management and analysis.
How to run the workflow
If you need to save specific YouTube channel information for reporting or analysis, doing it manually is always time-consuming. This playbook will automate the process. It will copy any channel's "about" information into a Google Sheet with one click.
You can quickly create a shareable resource for clients to stay up to date on channels and their information. If you are a business owner, you can keep tabs on competitors or influencers and keep a record of their strategies, products, and services, allowing you to make better decisions. Or maybe you want to compile up-to-date information about a celebrity, political figure, or recent news! Whatever your goals are, this automation will help you reach them.
Let’s set it up!
Step 1: Pin the playbook and integrate Google Sheets and YouTube
First, click the “Pin it” button at the top of this page to save this automation. You will be redirected to install the browser extension when you run it for the first time. Bardeen will also prompt you to integrate Google Sheets.
You will need to set up a Google Sheet that will contain the YouTube Channel information. Bardeen will scrape fields like the channel name, link, number of subscribers, number of views, number of videos, and the channel description.
You can click on "Remember inputs" to save your Google Sheet so that you don't have to specify it each time you run the automation.
Step 2: Run the playbook to save Youtube channel about info to Google Sheets
Navigate to a YouTube Channel's about info page and press Option + B on your keyboard to launch Bardeen. Click on the playbook card and run the Automation. Run the playbook from a YouTube channel's about info page. It will scrape all the information and add it to the Google Sheet that you specified.
You can also edit the playbook and add your next action to further customize the automation.
