Who is this for? This workflow is designed for YouTubers who want to update their video descriptions in bulk without manually editing each one. It's especially useful for creators who include a standard set of links in their descriptions and need to insert a new link between existing ones across multiple videos. What problem does this workflow solve? Manually updating video descriptions for multiple videos can be tedious and time-consuming. If you have a section in your video descriptions that contains important links, adding a new one in a specific position (e.g., between two existing links) can be a challenge. This workflow automates that process, allowing you to insert a specific string between two predefined rows in all of your video descriptions at once. What this workflow does Fetches all videos from your YouTube channel. Iterates through each video to retrieve its existing description. Identifies two predefined rows in the description. Inserts a new row between the two specified rows. Updates the video description with the modified text. Setup Connect your YouTube account to n8n and grant necessary permissions.
