Connect GitHub version tags to YouTube
A new version tag can cue a clean, accurate launch-video update.
Trigger
New Repository Tag Created
Triggers when a new tag is created in a GitHub repository. Monitors the repository's tags and fires an event for each newly created tag. The payload includes the tag name, the commit SHA and URL it points to, and archive download URLs.
Action
Update video
Updates metadata for a youtube video identified by videoid, which must exist; an empty list for tags removes all existing tags.
Why this helps
Version launches create tiny but easy-to-miss YouTube metadata tasks.
- Makes version messaging timely
- Reduces launch context switching
