FAQ

Questions people actually ask

What do you want to know?

What does TubeHook actually do?

TubeHook watches the YouTube channels you choose and turns channel activity into clean events. Instead of one vague notification, you get useful labels like published, updated, live started, live finished, or deleted.

Is this only for AI agents?

No. Agents are one good use case, but TubeHook is for anyone who wants better YouTube events. You can send them to your own webhook endpoints, automations, internal tools, or straight into a Discord channel.

Will this spam me with every tiny YouTube change?

That is exactly what TubeHook is meant to avoid. The goal is to separate meaningful events from noise, so your workflow knows what happened and can decide what to do next.

What kinds of YouTube events can I track?

Uploads, video updates, deleted videos, scheduled lives, live starts, live finishes, and a few fallback detections when YouTube gives us less detail than usual.

Where can I send the events?

TubeHook delivers to two destination types. Generic webhooks send a signed JSON POST to your endpoint — connect them to your app, automation platform, queue, or agent workflow. Discord webhooks post a chat-ready message straight into a Discord channel using its native webhook URL.

What does my webhook receive?

A JSON payload with the event type, channel details, video details when available, and timing information. The point is to give your code something predictable instead of forcing it to interpret raw YouTube noise.

What happens if my webhook is down?

TubeHook tracks delivery attempts and is built around retries and delivery visibility, so failures are easier to find and recover from.

Can I send events to Discord?

Yes. Pick Discord as the destination type when creating an endpoint and paste your Discord channel webhook URL. Each event arrives as a plain message with a YouTube link that Discord auto-embeds with the video thumbnail. Scheduled lives and premieres include a relative timestamp so the message reads "in 2 hours" no matter who is looking.
