Connect Slack to Youtube
Automate Slack and Youtube with AI
New YouTube uploads deserve more than a subscription email nobody opens. Your Operator agent on OpenClaw watches the channel you name, posts title, link, and description to Slack when a video goes live, and can pull view or comment counts into a thread when the team asks how launch day is going. Tell it to clip talking points from a transcript and it summarizes in Slack with the watch link attached.
It reaches both apps directly or through connectors like Composio MCP and Pipedream MCP, which handle the sign in and token refresh, so there is no Zap to build and no API keys to paste.

How it works
Tell the agent what you want to happen between Slack and Youtube, for example to watch one and act in the other, or to keep the two in step. It reads what it needs from Slack, works out what to do, and runs the matching action in Youtube without you mapping a single field.
You can have it run once, on a schedule, or whenever something changes. Ask it for a status any time and it reads the latest from both apps back to you in the same chat.
Common questions about Slack and Youtube
- How do I connect Slack and Youtube to Operator?
- You authorize Slack and Youtube once each from your Operator dashboard. Operator holds both connections and refreshes the access tokens for you, so your agent keeps working across them without you signing in again.
- What can my agent do across Slack and Youtube?
- Tell it the job and it moves between Slack and Youtube as one task, choosing which actions to run on each side. There is nothing to map and no trigger to configure; you give instructions the way you would to a person.
- Can my agent keep Slack and Youtube in sync?
- Yes. It can watch Slack and act in Youtube, or keep both in step, reading from one and running the matching update in the other. This runs on demand when you ask or on a schedule you set.
- Do I need to build a workflow or write code?
- No. There is no workflow to build, no fields to map, and no API keys to paste. Operator manages both connections, and you give the agent instructions in plain language.
