I'm having trouble retrieving tutorial videos from YouTube.

Could you please share screenshots of the output?

Alternatively, could you clarify what you mean by not able to retrieve tutorial videos from YouTube?

Also, when you paste the workflow, could you please use the preformatted option in the forum?

I understand the issue now:

You cannot reference the output this way because it is a tool, and the output has not been generated yet.

First, set the prompt in the agent to an expression to use {{ $json.message.from.first_name }} and {{ $now.toLocaleString() }}:

CleanShot_2025-06-04_at_14.27.34832×1334 116 KB

Then, for the tool, let AI define the parameter:

CleanShot_2025-06-04_at_14.29.05800×1108 50.4 KB

CleanShot_2025-06-04_at_14.29.18756×716 39.1 KB

The Agent will then pass the parameter according to your prompt:

• When you need to find YouTube videos, use the youtube_search tool with a clear search query like ‘python tutorial beginner’ or ‘guitar lessons intermediate’

Hope this helps.

I've hit my YouTube quota. I'll let you know as soon as I'm back within my quota.

Thank you for the assistance, but I'm now encountering this issue:

This is the workflow configuration:

Please review the execution logs and examine what was provided to the YouTube search. Consider refining the prompt to produce a more concise search term.
