I could be stuck on using IFTTT and making the rich notifications but I don’t know of anything else able to run all the time and catch YouTube uploads that even the YouTube app notifications can’t. I can’t seem to get the applet to write the same date to another service like docs.
The idea is to simplify the process of opening up the iPad or iPhone in the morning and then checking around 5-10 IFTTT notifications per channel. The applet saves all the information that was sent out at the time of the stream such as the original title and description and mainly the URL that gets unlisted.
YouTube has changed a lot recently so I needed other apps to gather notifications and get things that are hidden such as if the stream is renamed. The only thing that’s consistent is and always running is IFTTT.
I can manually click each one and send it to a shortcut but with there being a lot of different things to sort that determines what to watch first, what is unlisted or what I may need to download before it disappears, I would prefer using a shortcut to gather the information collected over night and then add filters to automate the whole sorting of notifications process.
I think the use of notification reading comes from the scriptable example that I presumed handled notifications in a more advanced manner so I think I got too hung up on the notifications side of the automation although the applet that’s saving the YouTube data uses a rich notification.
I know IFTTT triggers stopped back when it was Workflow but I can’t seem link it via a service like Dropbox. Nor am I able to get the same results from a different applet with a different storage service.
It’s probably because I don’t know what I’m doing with IFTTT and if I could find another way to capture and store the YouTube channel information in real time then I would be fine and could do the rest. Anyway I hope I am describing the things that I am struggling with in a way that translates to something that can be understood in a automation or script way.
