How The Automation Works

How The Automation Works

Simple Setup with Powerful Results

Technical Implementation:

  1. Authentication: Connect to YouTube via Google Auth and Raindrop via API key
  2. Configuration: Specify your YouTube playlist ID and target Raindrop collection
  3. Scheduling: Set checking frequency (every n minutes)
  4. Automation Logic: The workflow identifies only new videos since last check
  5. Data Transfer: Videos are sent to Raindrop with title, description, URL, and thumbnail

Key Technical Features:

  • Deduplication prevents multiple copies of the same video
  • Error handling ensures the workflow continues running reliably
  • Flexibility to change target collections or monitoring frequency
