How to monitor a YouTube channel and get alerts for new videos

Instead of manually checking a channel for new uploads, let Gaston watch it for you: every new video gets transcribed automatically, and you get an email the moment your keywords are mentioned.

1. Add the channel as a source

Add media from the internet using any video URL from the channel you want to watch. Gaston will recognize the channel behind it as a source you can monitor going forward.

2. Create an alert

Open the monitoring dashboard and create an alert with a search query for the words or phrases you want to track, this can be a person's name, a topic, or anything else that might come up.

3. Let Gaston watch the channel

From now on, Gaston checks the channel for new uploads, downloads and transcribes them automatically, and runs your alert's query against every new sentence.

4. Get notified the moment it matters

As soon as your keywords are mentioned on a monitored channel, you'll get an email notification with a direct link to that exact moment, and your monitoring dashboard keeps a running history of every match.
