Automated YouTube Publishing from Drive with GPT & Gemini Metadata Generation

Description

How it works
This workflow turns a Google Drive folder into a fully automated YouTube publishing pipeline. Whenever a new video file is added to the folder, the workflow generates all YouTube metadata using AI, uploads the video to your YouTube channel, deletes the original file from Drive, sends a Telegram confirmation, and can optionally post to Instagram and Facebook using permanent system tokens.
High-level flow:
Detects new video uploads in a specific Google Drive folder.

Downloads the file and uses AI to generate:
• a polished first-person YouTube description
• an SEO-optimized YouTube title
• high-ranking YouTube tags

Uploads the video to YouTube with the generated metadata.

Deletes the original Drive file after upload.

Sends a Telegram notification with video details.

(Optional) Posts to Instagram & Facebook using permanent system user tokens.
