How to Automatically Reply to YouTube Video Comments Using OpenAI

  • by

In this post, we will look at how you can integrate Youtube with OpenAI and automatically reply to your YouTube video comments using OpenAI.
This automation requires a one-time setup, for which we will use Pabbly Connect.
We will first link YouTube with Pabbly Connect to capture the comments, then link Pabbly Connect with OpenAI to compose a reply for those comments, then again link Pabbly Connect with YouTube and send the reply.

Steps to Automatically Reply to YouTube Video Comments Using OpenAI

2. Setup YouTube as the Trigger App to Capture Comments
3. Setup OpenAI as the Action App to Generate Replies
4. Setup YouTube as the Action App to Send a Reply

Step 2:- Setup YouTube as the Trigger App to Capture Comments

We will now look at the steps to establish a link between YouTube and Pabbly Connect – This will help us fetch new comments made on your video.

A. Trigger App

Trigger allows us to choose the application that will receive the data for Pabbly Connect. In our case, it would be YouTube.

Choose ‘YouTube’ as the Trigger App, select ‘New Comment on a Channel’ as a Trigger Event, and click on ‘Connect’.

B. Connect YouTube Account

To connect with your YouTube account, select ‘Add New Connection’ and click on ‘Connect With YouTube’. Also, grant the authorization.

Select the Channel whose comments you want to capture, enter Max Results, and click on ‘Save & Send Test Request’.

Expand Response Received to find the captured comments, thus confirming our connection.

Step 3:- Setup OpenAI as the Action App to Generate Replies

Action allows us to choose the application that will get executed by the workflow trigger.
Since we want to send a reply for the captured comments using OpenAI – it will be our Action App.

A. Action App

Choose ‘OpenAI’ as the Action App, select ‘Generate Content’ as an Action Event, and click on ‘Connect’.

B. Connect OpenAI Account

To connect with your OpenAI account, select ‘Add New Connection’. You will be prompted to enter your API Token. Find your API Token by clicking on the ‘OpenAI API Keys page’ button.

Compose a Prompt by mapping the comments from the step above.

Similarly, select/enter other fields, leaving the unnecessary ones empty, and click on ‘Save & Send Test Request’.

As soon as you click on Save & Send Test Request, OpenAI will automatically compose a reply for the comment.

Step 4:- Setup YouTube as the Action App to Send a Reply
