When to use this.
The YouTube Video Search action, identified as texau-youtube-search, enables users to efficiently search for videos on YouTube based on a specified keyword query. By inputting a search term through the 'query' parameter, users can retrieve a wealth of metadata related to relevant videos. The output includes essential information such as video URLs, titles, channel names, channel URLs, view counts, durations in seconds, publish dates, thumbnail URLs, and video descriptions, all categorized under text, number, boolean, and URL semantic types. This action is particularly useful for content creators, marketers, and researchers looking to analyze trends, gather insights, or enhance video-related projects by leveraging YouTube's vast library of content. As part of the enrichment category, it serves as a powerful tool for data enrichment and analysis, facilitating informed decision-making and strategic planning.

FAQ.
Is this real-time?
Mostly. Fast actions fill the cell in a few seconds. Long-running ones run in the background and write back to the row when they finish, so you can close the tab.
Do I get charged on failure?
No. A failed lookup costs zero credits. When a provider misses or times out, the waterfall moves to the next one and you only pay for the match you actually got.
Do I have to run it row by row?
No. Run it on one cell, on a selection, on the whole table, or on a schedule. Same action either way.
What CRMs can I push results to?
HubSpot, Salesforce, Pipedrive, Zoho, and GoHighLevel are bidirectional. Smartlead, Instantly, Lemlist, HeyReach, Apollo Sequences, and Reply.io for outbound.
