Trigger
New YouTube Channel Subscription
Triggers when a new channel is subscribed.
Action
Create collaboration
Adds a collaboration for a single user or a single group to a file or folder. collaborations can be created using email address, user ids, or a group ids. if a collaboration is being created with a group, access to this endpoint is dependent on the group's ability to be invited. if collaboration is in `pending` status, the following fields are redacted: - `login` and `name` are hidden if a collaboration was created using `user id`, - `name` is hidden if a collaboration was created using `login`.
Why this helps
Subscribed channels often become research tasks with no assigned owner or shared workspace.
- Assigns follow-up quickly
- Keeps research centralized
- Prevents forgotten subscriptions
