YouTube Channel Tracking
Track YouTube channels automatically.
Follow every creator’s videos and Shorts on YouTube, measure what each channel earns, and get notified the moment they publish — in the dashboard or piped straight into your own stack. No screenshots, no manual logging.
Why it’s different
YouTube channel tracking that scores every video for you.
Add the YouTube channels you work with and every video and Short they publish is picked up automatically and scored — earned media value, engagement rate, views and comment sentiment. No chasing analytics, no manual logging, nothing for the creator to install. Read it in the dashboard, or pipe the same structured data straight into your own stack.
In the dashboard
A built campaign view your team can read at a glance — performance, creators and content, plus an editable AI report.
- No setup beyond adding creators
- Built for marketers, not engineers
In your own stack
The same monitoring, delivered as structured events to your own notify endpoint — so mentions and metrics land where your team and your agents already work.
- API, webhooks and delivery history
- No enterprise tier required
In the dashboard
Build a YouTube campaign, then measure it from one place.
Name a campaign, choose the hashtags, @mentions and keywords to follow, add the YouTube channels from saved lists, pasted handles or a CSV, and set your dates. New videos and Shorts are picked up automatically, usually within about an hour.
One YouTube campaign, fully measured — content delivery, awareness, engagement and cost performance.
Performance that adds up
Every campaign rolls up into Overview, Creators and Content views, so you can see the whole picture or drill into a single YouTube video or Short.
Add a budget and you also get Cost per Engagement, Cost per View and an EMV / Spend ratio.
An AI report you can actually edit
Add an optional brief and the AI Report writes a narrative you can rework — summary, sentiment, top content, creator ranking and recommendations.
- Editable draft, not a locked PDF
- Exports to Google Docs or Word (.docx)
- Reads from your brief to frame the story

Campaigns and the API, together
Dashboard campaigns set up their monitoring for you under the hood — pause and resume follow the campaign. Prefer to wire it yourself? Standalone webhook subscriptions work directly over the API for any non-campaign use.

FAQ
Questions, answered.
How do you track YouTube channels automatically?
Add the YouTube channels to a campaign — by handle, from a saved list, or via CSV — and every new video and Short they publish is picked up automatically, usually within about an hour. You can track by keyword, hashtag or @mention, and there’s nothing for the creator to install or sign up for. Each video is scored for engagement rate, views and earned media value as it lands.
Can I track YouTube channels without access to their account?
Yes. Tracking works from publicly available content, so there’s no channel access, login or authentication required — nothing to connect and nothing for the creator to install. You can track channels you don’t own.
Can I track YouTube videos without asking for screenshots?
Yes — that’s the point. Instead of chasing creators for screenshots or waiting on post-campaign analytics, tracking collects each video and Short automatically as it’s published, so your metrics stay up to date without any manual logging.
What YouTube content can be tracked — videos and Shorts?
Publicly available YouTube videos and Shorts from the channels in your campaign. Private or unlisted videos and content that was never made public aren’t included — only what’s publicly accessible on YouTube.
Which YouTube metrics do I get?
Earned media value, total and average engagement rate, views, estimated impressions and reach, likes and comments — per video, per channel and per campaign. Add a budget and you also get cost per engagement, cost per view and an EMV-to-spend ratio, all calculated for you.
Can I track YouTube channels over an API or webhook?
Yes. Subscribe to the YouTube channels you care about and receive structured events at your own notify endpoint — new video, description change, channel-link change and subscriber-threshold events. For new-video triggers you can narrow by keyword, hashtag, mention and type. Deliveries retry automatically, and a delivery history records every event with its status, latency, retry count and payload. Everything is in the public API docs.
