How the Flow Works:
New Video Detection:
- The flow monitors the specified YouTube channel for new uploads.
- Once a new video is detected, it extracts key details such as the title, description, and video ID.
Content Processing & Transcription:
- The videoβs title and description are retrieved.
- If the video contains subtitles, they are extracted and processed for better content generation.
- A structured WordPress article is automatically generated.
Category & Tags Assignment:
- Categories and tags are determined dynamically based on the content of the video.
- If a relevant category does not exist in WordPress, it is automatically created.
- Tags are assigned following these rules:
- For a brand/device: The tag includes both the brand and model (as separate tags).
- For a consumable: The tag includes the type of consumable and the associated brand (matching the category).
Thumbnail Upload:
- The videoβs thumbnail is fetched and uploaded to the WordPress media library.
- It is then set as the featured image for the article.
Automatic Publishing to WordPress:
- The article is formatted with a clean structure and proper metadata.
- The generated content, thumbnail, category, and tags are attached.
- The post is published automatically or saved as a draft (depending on settings).
Notifications & Logs:
- A confirmation is logged once the post is successfully published.
- If any error occurs (e.g., missing credentials, API failure), logs help debug the issue.
