How this automation works
Automatically upload a video to your YouTube channel whenever you receive a text message from a specified contact. This runs when your Android device gets an SMS from the number you’ve chosen, and the video is published to your YouTube channel. Perfect for content creators or teams who want to trigger uploads through simple text commands from anywhere.
