This document contains the exact variables required to activate your Make.com blueprint.

PHASE 1: YOUTUBE RSS EXTRACTION
---------------------------------------------------------
The YouTube API is heavily rate-limited. We bypass this using their raw XML feed.
Master RSS URL: https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id=

1. Go to your YouTube Channel homepage.
2. View Page Source (Right Click -> View Page Source).
3. CTRL+F and search for "browse_id".
4. Copy the 24-character string (it always starts with 'UC').
5. Append it to the Master RSS URL above. This is your Trigger URL.

PHASE 2: BEEHIIV API AUTHENTICATION
---------------------------------------------------------
1. Log in to Beehiiv -> Settings -> Integrations -> API.
2. Generate a new v2 API Key. Copy it immediately.
3. Find your "Publication ID" (Settings -> Publication -> General -> Publication ID).

PHASE 3: MAKE.COM DEPLOYMENT
---------------------------------------------------------
1. Log in to Make.com and click "Create a new scenario".
2. Click the 3 dots at the bottom -> "Import Blueprint".
3. Copy the raw JSON code provided in the Matrix Vault, save it as a .json file on your computer, and upload it.
4. Click the 'YouTube RSS Trigger' module and paste your Trigger URL from Phase 1.
5. Click the 'Beehiiv API' HTTP module:
   - Replace 'ENTER_YOUR_PUBLICATION_ID_HERE' in the URL.
   - Replace 'ENTER_YOUR_BEEHIIV_API_KEY_HERE' in the Headers.
6. Save and turn the scenario ON.

Your pipeline is now live. Every time you publish a video, a draft email will automatically appear in your Beehiiv dashboard.
