Complex Trigger

This n8n workflow provides a powerful, manually triggered solution for updating YouTube video descriptions. Upon activation, it can either retrieve the three most recent videos from a specified channel or target a single, specific video ID. It then fetches the video's current details, including its existing description. A custom code node intelligently processes this description, inserting new, predefined text at a specific point or according to defined logic. Finally, the workflow uses the YouTube API to update the chosen video's description with the newly generated text, ensuring the original video title remains unchanged. This is ideal for adding consistent disclaimers, promotional links, or standard intros/outros across multiple videos with a simple manual trigger.
