Automate File Uploads from Dropbox to YouTube using Make.com

In this guide, we're going to set up a scenario on Make.com where new files in a Dropbox folder are automatically uploaded to YouTube if they are in MP4 format. Follow the steps to create an automated workflow.

Step-by-Step Guide to Creating the Integration

1. Create a New Scenario: First, let's create a new scenario in Make.com. Click on the "Create a new scenario" button.
2. Dropbox Module: Watch Files

• Add a module named "Dropbox: Watch Files".
• Set up the connection to your Dropbox account.
• Configure the folder path where you want to monitor for new files (e.g., /Pic). You can adjust the depth of the folder monitoring by enabling or disabling the "Watch also subfolders" option.
• Define how many files you want to check at a time with the "Limit" parameter.
1. Aggregator Module: Basic Aggregator

• Add a module named "Basic Aggregator".
• Use this module to aggregate the data from the watched files in Dropbox. Map the necessary fields like name, path_lower, path_display, and others from the previous step.
1. Feeder Module: Iterator

• Add a module named "Iterator".
• This module will take the aggregated data and feed it into the following steps of the scenario. Make sure to map the necessary fields appropriately.
1. Filter: File is MP4

• Add a filter to check if the file is an MP4 by evaluating the path_display field with the condition to contain .mp4. This is added after you put the next module down.
1. Dropbox Module: Get File

• Add a module named "Dropbox: Get File".
• Set up the connection to your Dropbox account.
• Map the path_lower field to fetch the actual file.
1. YouTube Module: Upload Video

• Add a module named "YouTube: Upload Video".
• Connect to your YouTube account.
• Map the title, fileName, data, and other necessary fields ensuring to configure the video details like category, privacy status, description, etc.
• You can customize the description and title as needed.

Final Notes

Always test your scenario with a few sample files in your Dropbox folder to ensure everything is working smoothly. This way, you can verify the files are correctly uploaded to YouTube.
