YouTube to Email Automation: Send Videos Automatically (No-Code Beehiiv Guide)
Quick Answer: To automate YouTube to Beehiiv, extract your channel’s RSS feed URL and route it through a Make.com webhook. Map the video title and URL to the Beehiiv API module to automatically generate a draft email newsletter every time a new video is published. No coding is required.
YouTube to Email Automation (All Use Cases)
This scalable infrastructure can be deployed for:
- YouTube RSS to email newsletter automation
- Automatically sending YouTube videos to subscribers
- Converting YouTube videos into email campaigns
- Building an email list directly from YouTube content
What This System Does:
- Converts passive YouTube viewers into an owned email list automatically.
- Eliminates all manual data entry and cross-platform copy-pasting.
- Drafts a formatted newsletter natively in Beehiiv the second a video goes live.
- Builds a direct, monetizable pipeline independent of the YouTube algorithm.
Who This Pipeline Is For:
- You run an active YouTube channel with 1K+ subscribers.
- You want to build an owned email audience away from algorithms.
- You use (or plan to use) Beehiiv for native monetization.

Note: This system is NOT for beginners without an active channel.
