Youtube details updates are failing

[Trek World]

Hi!

Ok, so I had this working the ofther day, but for some reason when testing it now - it no longer works. I'm sure it's something I'm doing wrong on my end.

My workflow is here: https://connect.pabbly.com/workflow/mapping/IjU3NjYwNTZlMDYzMTA0MzU1MjZhNTUzNTUxM2Ii_pc

My issue is that the workflow sucessfully uploads a video to YoutTube in step 6. And it receives a refernce id for the new video back correctly from Youtube. If I go out to Youtube and check, the video is successfull uploaded and sitting n Unlisted mode - which is what I wanted.

But thing get a bit strange after that point. I do some calls to OpenAI, Gmail, & Pabbly's Text Formatter. To create a video title, video description, video tags, and video chapters.

Then in step 24, if I use the video ID returned from step 6, I get a 403 Forbidden response back from Youtube.

Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

Jim

Hi @Trek World,

It seems that you were directly using the Request ID as the Video ID in the 'Update Video Details' action step, which is incorrect. You need to use the Request ID in the 'Get Video Upload Status' action step to retrieve the Video ID, which you can then use in the 'Update Video Details' action step. We have done this on your behalf, and it appears to have fixed your issue.

Thanks!

That was quick and far exceeded my expectations. I know people just love to gripe; but I've really found you guys to be amazing at customer support.
