Create top-performing video entries in central content tracker

Automatically run YouTube channel reports across YouTube and Zapier Tables on an hourly schedule. Create and update when top videos and metrics appear, or when views shift, or when engagement metrics updateβ€”so you can record performance, populate tracker rows, and keep timestamps current without manual spreadsheet updates.

How this automation records your video performance

When top videos and metrics go untracked between reviews, performance visibility fades and updates take longer. This automation runs a YouTube channel report, normalizes metrics, and creates tracker recordsβ€”so your team can see results consistently.
