Description

The Youtube addon adds two triggers to AutomatorWP that detect when a logged-in user or an anonymous visitor watches a YouTube video embedded via shortcode on your page. The integration uses the official YouTube API to track the player and fires automations such as sending data via webhook, enrolling in LearnPress courses, or removing tags in WP Fusion after the video is viewed.

Main Features

  • User watches video trigger (Pro): fires an automation when a logged-in user finishes watching a specific YouTube video.
  • Anonymous visitor watches video trigger (Pro): tracks views from non-logged-in visitors, allowing automations for anonymous traffic.
  • Embedding via dedicated shortcode: inserts the YouTube player on the page through a specific shortcode, required for the API to detect playback.
  • Detection by the official YouTube API: listens to player events to confirm the video was watched before triggering the automation.
  • Combination with other AutomatorWP addons: connects the viewing to flows with webhooks, WP Fusion, LearnPress, and other integrations available in the ecosystem.

Benefits of Youtube

  • Engagement measured by actual view: fires actions only after the video is genuinely watched, not just loaded on the page.
  • Automated post-content journeys: enrolls in courses, removes tags, or sends data to external systems as soon as the learner finishes watching.
  • Coverage of anonymous audiences: allows tracking views from visitors not yet registered, broadening the automation reach.
  • Connection with LMS and CRM: links video consumption to teaching platforms and relationship tools already used on the site.

Who Is It For?

  • Online course creators and e-learning platforms using video as main material.
  • Content marketing professionals who want to segment visitors by what they watch.
  • Membership sites and communities delivering lessons, training, or behind-the-scenes via video.

Recommended for those using YouTube as a content channel within the WordPress site who need to turn each view into a concrete automation step in AutomatorWP.
