How Zapier works
Zapier makes it easy to integrate WordPress with YouTube - no code necessary. See how you can get setup in minutes.
Choose a trigger
A trigger is the event that starts your Zap—like a "New Comment" from WordPress.
Add your action
An action happens after the trigger—such as "Add Video to Playlist" in YouTube.
You’re connected!
Zapier seamlessly connects WordPress and YouTube, automating your workflow.

Frequently Asked Questions about WordPress + YouTube integrations
New to automation with Zapier? You're not alone. Here are some answers to common questions about how Zapier works with WordPress and YouTube
How can I automatically post new YouTube videos to my WordPress blog?
You can set up a trigger in our platform to detect when you upload a new video to your YouTube channel. This trigger can then initiate an action that creates a new post in your WordPress blog, embedding the video and using relevant metadata like title and description.
Is it possible to update a WordPress post when a YouTube video is updated?
Yes, you can configure a workflow where an update to a video in YouTube triggers an action on our side to update the corresponding WordPress post. Make sure that the specific fields you want updated match those available for updates via our integration.
Can I embed a live stream from YouTube into my WordPress site automatically?
Currently, our platform supports triggers for newly uploaded videos but not for live streams. However, once the live stream is available as a recorded video, it can be embedded into WordPress using the same process as other videos.
What happens if my YouTube account gets disconnected from our service?
If your YouTube account becomes disconnected, any workflows relying on it will fail until reconnected. We’ll notify you of any disconnection so that you can reconnect your account and resume automated processes.
Can I automate adding tags from YouTube videos to my WordPress posts?
Yes, when setting up your workflow, you can map metadata like tags from your YouTube video directly into fields within your new or updated WordPress post.
Is there support for scheduled posting to WordPress based on new activity on my YouTube channel?
We support scheduling actions based on triggers from your YouTube channel. For example, detecting when you upload new content allows you to schedule posting these updates at preferred times in WordPress.
How can I handle video comments in relation to my WordPress blog through automation?
While automated comment handling is not directly supported due to API restrictions, comments` related notifications can be set up. However, direct migration of comments requires manual intervention or custom solutions beyond basic integration setups.
