YouTube Notifications

YouTube Notifications post an alert in your server when a channel you follow publishes a video. Paste a channel URL, a handle or a channel ID, or search by name, pick the Discord channel, and FlaviBot announces each new upload with its title and link, or with an embed you built. YouTube notifies FlaviBot when a video is published, so the alert is close to immediate, and videos older than 24 hours or published before you subscribed are ignored. This page is about upload alerts only: for music, FlaviBot does not support YouTube.

Close to immediate

YouTube tells FlaviBot the moment a video is published, so the announcement goes out without anyone polling or refreshing anything.

A URL, a handle or an id

Paste a channel URL, a channel handle or a UC channel id, or search the channel by name. A name that cannot be resolved is refused instead of saved as a dead subscription.

Your message, or an embed

The default is the video title on one line and the link on the next. Write your own with the title and link variables, or switch to an embed you built on the Embed Messages page.

No back catalogue flood

Videos published more than 24 hours ago, and anything published before you created the subscription, are ignored, so adding a channel never dumps its archive.

Questions about YouTube Notifications

Can FlaviBot play music from YouTube?

No. FlaviBot does not support YouTube. This feature only posts an alert when a channel publishes a video; for music, FlaviBot supports Spotify, Apple Music, Deezer, Tidal and Amazon Music.

Can I leave out Shorts or live streams?

Not yet. The videos, shorts and lives checkboxes are saved with the subscription but not applied, so every new upload from the channel is announced.

How fast is the alert posted?

Close to immediately: YouTube notifies FlaviBot when a video is published, so nothing waits for a polling cycle.
