Slack BotMarketingContent GenerationNotifications & AlertsBuild an agent workflow that turns every new video on my YouTube channel into a LinkedIn promo post in my voice and pings my marketing team in Slack to amplify it.
Trigger: cron, every 30 minutes.
On each run, the agent should:
1. Use YouTube List Channels with mine=true to find my channel and its uploads playlist ID.
2. Use YouTube List Playlist Items on that uploads playlist to detect any video added since the previous run. If there are no new videos, exit quietly without doing anything else.
3. For each new video, use YouTube Get Video to pull the title, description, and tags.
4. Draft a LinkedIn post of roughly 1,200 characters in my voice that opens with the strongest hook from the video description, adds a one-line 'why you should watch' framing, ends with a clear call to watch, and includes the YouTube URL.
5. Publish the draft with LinkedIn Create Post as a text post and set the YouTube URL as the article link so LinkedIn renders a YouTube preview card.
6. Use Slack Bot Send a Message to post in my marketing channel with both the YouTube URL and the LinkedIn permalink so the team can react and amplify.
Important: never run the LinkedIn or Slack steps when there are no new uploads. The workflow should be silent on quiet runs.

What do I need to use this?

- A LinkedIn account that can post on your behalf.
- A Slack workspace and the marketing channel where the team should be notified.
How can I customize it?
- Change how often the workflow checks for new uploads (every 15 minutes, hourly, or twice a day).
- Edit the voice and structure of the LinkedIn copy (length, tone, call to action, hashtags).
- Pick a different Slack channel, send to a DM, or skip the Slack ping entirely.
