Shortcuts on Mac and iOS

YouTube Playlist from a Google Sheet

  • Suppose you have a list of YouTube URL stored in a Google Sheet.
  • The goal of this Shortcut is to generate a temporary YouTube playlist from the (last) items of that list.
  • Open with Safari the icloud link to this Shortcut: YouTube Playlist from a Google Sheet (template)
  • Example: I'm using Feedly to organize my Youtube channels by topics. Concerning music channels, whose content is captured in a topic 'Music', I would like to select some of the new videos from it and create a corresponding temporary playlist on Youtube for listening them without interruption. To do that first I create a Feedly 'board' called 'Music' where my selection goes, and a Zapier or IFTTT applet which automatically fills my Google Sheet with each new Youtube link I want to listen later. When I'm ready for listening, I press the Shortcut button on my iphone and it generate immediately a playlist of the 10 (or more) last songs I'd like to discover.
