How to connect YouTube Channel to ARIQ

Use this guide when an agency connects a client's YouTube Channel account, or when a business connects its own YouTube Channel account. The connection is saved on the open project.

Credential format:Google OAuth — youtube.readonly

Who connects YouTube Channel

The connection is saved on one project. An agency connects each client from that client's project. A business connecting its own account uses its own project. Both follow the same Connect button.

Agency

Sign in to ARIQ with your agency user. Open the client project, then connect that client's YouTube Channel account. The client does not need an ARIQ login. Use the YouTube Channel login that can already see that client's data.

Your own business

Sign in to ARIQ, open your project, and connect the YouTube Channel account this business already uses. You approve access with that same account.

Connect it inside ARIQ

  1. 1Sign in to ARIQ.
  2. 2Open the project this account belongs to. Switch projects from the left sidebar if you manage more than one client.
  3. 3Open YouTube Channel from the workspace tabs, or go straight to the YouTube Channel page.
  4. 4Click Connect, then Sign in with YouTube Channel. ARIQ sends you to YouTube Channel. Sign in with the account that can see this client's data and allow access. You do not paste a password into ARIQ.
  5. 5Stay on that project and sync. The page shows live numbers only after this account is connected. Another client's project stays empty until you connect it there too.

On YouTube Channel, before you click Connect

Do this in the YouTube Channel account that belongs to the client, or in your own account if this project is your business. Then come back to ARIQ and click Connect.
