BrowserAct YouTube Publishing Strategy Generator
Brief
A Make.com Workflow for Automated YouTube Publishing Strategy
BrowserAct YouTube Publishing Strategy Generator is a Make.com–based automation that helps creators, media teams, and growth marketers systematically determine the best publishing time for YouTube channels by collecting historical video performance data and transforming it into AI-driven scheduling recommendations.
Instead of manually reviewing upload times, comparing views across videos, and guessing when to publish, this workflow automates the entire analysis process inside Make—turning raw YouTube data into a clear, actionable publishing strategy.
What Does BrowserAct YouTube Publishing Strategy Generator Do?
BrowserAct YouTube Publishing Strategy Generator enables creators and teams to automatically analyze historical YouTube video performance and identify optimal publishing windows—without relying on intuition or manual spreadsheets.
Publishing time has a significant impact on reach and virality. However, manually analyzing dozens of videos across different days and time slots is slow, inconsistent, and difficult to scale.
This workflow replaces that process with an end-to-end automation orchestrated entirely inside Make. It coordinates automated YouTube data collection, structured performance aggregation, AI-powered time-pattern analysis, and final strategy delivery—allowing users to confidently decide when to publish for maximum impact.
The workflow starts when a user provides a YouTube channel homepage URL. Make then orchestrates BrowserAct-based data extraction, video-level performance collection, AI-driven scheduling analysis, and structured result storage.
Key Features of BrowserAct YouTube Publishing Strategy Generator
- Channel-Level Automation
Automatically processes a YouTube channel homepage and prepares historical video data for analysis. - Video List Discovery & Iteration
Navigates to the channel’s Videos tab and iterates through individual videos for performance inspection. - Historical Performance Collection
Collects publish time, view count, and engagement signals across multiple videos to build a historical dataset. - AI-Powered Scheduling Analysis
Uses AI to identify high-performing time windows based on real performance patterns rather than assumptions. - Pattern Recognition & Time Clustering
Detects optimal days, hourly windows, and recurring “dead zones” that negatively affect performance. - Structured Parsing & Storage
Converts AI insights into structured records and saves them directly into Google Sheets. - Make-Orchestrated Execution
All iteration logic, branching, AI calls, and data storage are managed inside Make for reliability and scalability.
What Data Can You Analyze from YouTube?
With BrowserAct YouTube Publishing Strategy Generator, you can analyze publicly available historical video performance data from YouTube channels. The workflow focuses on publish timing and performance correlation.
YouTube Channel & Video Data
- Video titles
- Video page URLs
- Video publish date & time
- View counts
- Engagement indicators (likes, visibility trends)
How to Use BrowserAct YouTube Publishing Strategy Generator in One Click
Using BrowserAct YouTube Publishing Strategy Generator requires no manual setup or technical configuration.
Simply provide a YouTube channel homepage URL as input in Make. The workflow automatically runs channel analysis, video iteration, performance aggregation, AI-based scheduling analysis, and result storage in the background—no manual browsing, exporting, or time comparison required.
Why Analyze YouTube Publishing Time Automatically?
Publishing at the wrong time can significantly limit reach—even with strong content.
Manually identifying optimal publishing windows across historical videos is inefficient and error-prone. Automating this analysis allows creators and teams to:
- Identify high-impact publishing windows faster
- Avoid consistently underperforming time slots
- Base scheduling decisions on real performance data
- Replace intuition with repeatable, data-driven strategy
Input & Output
Input
- YouTube channel homepage URL
Output
- A structured Google Sheets report containing:
- Recommended publishing day(s)
- Optimal time window(s)
- Identified low-performance “dead zones”
- AI-generated scheduling strategy and rationale
Who Is BrowserAct YouTube Publishing Strategy Generator For?
BrowserAct YouTube Publishing Strategy Generator is ideal for:
- YouTubers and video creators
- Channel managers and content strategists
- Media and growth teams
- Agencies optimizing content publishing performance
Working Principle (How it works)
- Trigger / Input Source (Google Sheets)
- The workflow starts in Make by reading rows from a Google Sheet that contains YouTube channel URLs (and an output column for the optimized publishing strategy).
- Row Iteration (Make Iterator)
- Make iterates through each channel URL row to process channels one by one in a structured, repeatable loop.
- Channel Video List Extraction (BrowserAct)
- For each channel URL, Make triggers a BrowserAct workflow that navigates to the channel’s
/videospage and extracts a list of video titles + video URLs as structured JSON.
- Per-Channel Data Storage Setup (Google Sheets)
- Make automatically creates a dedicated Google Sheet tab (named after the channel URL) to store that channel’s extracted video list and subsequent performance metrics.
- Video-Level Iteration + Metadata Collection (BrowserAct)
- Make parses the video list JSON, iterates through each video URL, then triggers a second BrowserAct workflow to extract key metrics for each video (publish time, views, likes).
- Row Mapping & Update (Make Variables + Google Sheets Update)
- Make writes each video into the channel sheet, stores the row number, then updates the same row with the extracted view/like/publish-time values—ensuring clean alignment between videos and metrics.
- Historical Performance Aggregation (Make Aggregator)
- After metadata collection, Make retrieves the compiled dataset for the channel and aggregates the historical performance records into a single structured input for analysis.
- Publishing Strategy Generation (Gemini AI in Make)
- Make sends the aggregated dataset to Gemini AI, which identifies the best publishing window (day/time clustering), highlights “viral-hit” patterns, and flags low-performing time slots.
- Result Delivery (Google Sheets Output)
- Make writes the AI-generated publishing strategy back to the main Google Sheet (Optimized time / strategy column), so users can immediately apply the recommendation.
