Always-On Automation

New video published. Shorts generated automatically.

Connect any YouTube playlist and Longwave watches it around the clock. The moment a new video is published, processing kicks off automatically - clips, captions, thumbnails, scheduling. You do nothing.

How Monitoring Works
New video detected - processing…

Set up once. Run forever.

Add a playlist URL, activate monitoring, and never manually submit a video again.

Cosa ottieni

Zero-latency automation powered by webhooks

PubSubHubbub webhooks

We subscribe to YouTube's PubSubHubbub (WebSub) feed for each monitored channel. YouTube pushes a notification the moment a video is published - no polling delay, no missed videos.

Instant trigger on publish

Processing kicks off within seconds of a new video appearing on YouTube - not on a polling schedule, but on the live webhook event.

Infinite loop prevention

When we publish Shorts to your channel, YouTube would normally trigger our own webhook again. We check if the incoming video ID is one we uploaded - and skip it automatically.

Back catalog processing

Activate a playlist and choose to process the last N videos of existing content - catch up on your back catalog in one click.

Monitor health dashboard

See every monitored playlist, its webhook subscription status, last sync time, and number of videos processed - all from the Playlist Monitor page.

Any public YouTube channel

You can monitor any public YouTube channel or playlist - not just your own. Perfect for agencies managing client channels or curating content from multiple sources.

Come funziona

How playlist monitoring works

01

Webhook subscription

When you activate a playlist, we call the PubSubHubbub hub and subscribe to the YouTube Atom feed for that channel. YouTube immediately starts pushing notifications for every new video published to that channel.

Webhook subscribed ✓
02

Webhook received → job created

When YouTube pushes a new video notification, our webhook endpoint validates the request, checks it's not a video we uploaded ourselves, creates a processing job, and adds the video to the playlist_videos table.

Job created: auto_triggered: true
03

Full pipeline runs automatically

The worker claims the job, runs the full processing pipeline (transcript → AI analysis → clip cutting → captions → thumbnails), and queues all clips for scheduled publishing - completely without any user action.

8 clips queued from new episode

Flusso di lavoro flessibile

Monitor every video or hand-pick what gets processed

Full auto-monitoring for every upload, or selective processing for specific videos.
