Send New YouTube Videos to Telegram with n8n Workflow

Automatically send every new YouTube video to Telegram—directly from n8n

This n8n workflow checks a specific YouTube channel for newly published videos and immediately forwards them to your Telegram chat (private, group, or channel). No manual monitoring—just clean, automated YouTube-to-Telegram updates.

What this workflow does

• Runs on a schedule (Interval): CheckTime controls how often the workflow fetches the latest videos. Default is every 30 minutes.
• Fetches channel videos (GetVideosYT): The workflow retrieves videos from your chosen YouTube Channel ID and lets you set a Limit for how many videos to fetch.
• Requires Google OAuth2 credentials: The YouTube fetch uses Google OAuth2 (setup guide in n8n documentation). If you use n8n tunneling, you may need to adjust the Google OAuth callback URL.
• Prevents duplicate Telegram posts (Function): A Function node checks whether a video was seen previously, so the same video won’t be published again in Telegram.
• Sends the message to Telegram (SendVideo): The workflow posts your selected text to Telegram using your bot credentials, targeting your specified Chat ID (private, group, or channel).

Use cases

• Send new uploads to a Telegram channel for community alerts and content discovery.
• Keep a team’s Telegram group updated when a YouTube channel publishes new tutorials or product videos.
• Automate content promotion for SaaS updates, where YouTube is the source of truth.
