YouTube Notifications
Get notified in your Discord server when YouTube channels upload new videos. Configure channels, custom messages, and template variables.
Overview
Nevi can monitor YouTube channels and send a notification to your Discord server whenever a new video is uploaded. Keep your community in the loop about their favorite creators without anyone needing to manually check YouTube.
Each subscription targets a specific YouTube channel and posts to a Discord channel of your choice.
Subscribing to a channel
Use the /youtube subscribe command to start receiving upload notifications for a YouTube channel.
Usage
/youtube subscribe <url> #channel— subscribe to a YouTube channel's uploads
Example
/youtube subscribe https://youtube.com/@MrBeast #videos
Custom notification messages
Customize the notification message using template variables that are replaced with the actual video and channel information when a new upload is detected.
Usage
/youtube subscribe <url> #channel [message]— subscribe with a custom notification message
Example
/youtube subscribe https://youtube.com/@channel #videos "New video from {channel.name}: {video.title} - {video.url}"
Template Variables
| Variable | Description |
|---|---|
{video.title} | The title of the new video |
{video.url} | Direct link to the new video |
{channel.name} | The YouTube channel’s name |
Managing subscriptions
| Command | What It Does |
|---|---|
/youtube list | View all active YouTube subscriptions for your server |
/youtube unsubscribe | Remove a YouTube subscription and stop receiving notifications |
Tips
Use the @ handle format
Always use the https://youtube.com/@name format for channel URLs. This is the most reliable way for Nevi to identify the channel.
Dedicated notification channel
Create a #videos or #uploads channel specifically for YouTube notifications to keep them organized and easy to find.
Detection timing
YouTube upload notifications may take a few minutes to arrive after a video is published, depending on YouTube's feed update frequency. This is normal.
