Start a private review chat for playlist additions
Move time-sensitive playlist review into a direct conversation automatically.
Trigger
New Item in YouTube Playlist
Triggers when a new item is added to a YouTube playlist.
Action
Initiate user channel with recipient
Creates a new direct message (dm) channel or retrieves an existing one, using `recipient id` for a 1-on-1 dm or `access tokens` for a group dm; this action only establishes or fetches the channel and does not send messages.
Why this helps
Review requests wait because nobody opens the right private conversation.
- Start coordination faster
- Keep sensitive review private
- Reduce follow-up delays

- 1Connect YouTube and Discordbot in Notis once.
- 2Create an automation for private playlist review.
- 3Tell Notis which recipient should receive the DM channel and what context to include.
- 4Pick New Item in YouTube Playlist as the trigger and choose a report channel.
- 5Test with one playlist item.
Questions about this workflow
Does this send the message itself?
This action establishes or retrieves the DM channel; include a separate message action if needed.
