Sharing My YouTube Applet

October 16, 2025 - Reading time: ~1 minute

"Applet" is the term used by IFTTT for the automation you have created; it's like a "zap" for Zapier.

If you are using IFTTT, feel free to use my custom applet available at: https://ift.tt/ZegJyxj.

Here's what it does:

  • When a new video appears on the channel I follow.
  • Skip if it's less than 60 seconds.
  • If greater than 60 seconds, ask ChatGPT to summarize it.
  • The automation will notify me on the phone about the new upload to the channel that I follow.
  • Send the email containing the summary to my address.
