Open BotStar Chat for Every New Playlist Launch

Give launch questions a clear place to go the moment a new playlist appears.

Trigger

New Playlist in YouTube Channel

Triggers when a new playlist is added to a YouTube channel.

Action

Livechat open

Tool to show the live chat window. use after the widget has been bootstrapped with botstarapi('boot') to programmatically open the chat window (mode must be 'livechat' or 'popup').

Why this helps

Playlist launches create follow up work that is easy to postpone or scatter across tools.

  • Create an immediate follow up space
  • Keep launch details together
  • Reduce scattered launch tasks

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect YouTube and BotStar in Notis once.
  • 2Create an automation for playlist launch conversations.
  • 3Tell Notis to summarize the new playlist and open BotStar live chat with a launch brief.
  • 4Pick New Playlist in YouTube Channel as the trigger.
  • 5Choose a report channel and test with one new playlist.

Questions about this workflow

What information can the brief include?

Ask Notis to include the playlist name, URL, intended audience, and any supplied launch notes.

Does this change the playlist?

No. It only opens the BotStar chat with the prepared context.
