How to Import a List of YouTube Channels

Importing a CSV file of YouTube channels helps you in two ways:

1. Enrich your list with emails – When you upload a list of channels, you can extract emails for any channels we already have contact information for.
2. Deduplicate future exports – Channels you’ve imported won’t be included in your future exports, so you won’t waste credits on duplicates.

Here’s how to set it up:

1. Prepare Your CSV File

To ensure your CSV file is ready for import:

• It must contain exactly one column.
• The first row should be the column header (any name is acceptable).
• Include either YouTube channel URLs (e.g., https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCxxxxxxx) or channel IDs.
• Maximum file size: 10 MB.

Example CSV structure:

plaintextCopyEditchannel_url https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCxxxxxxx https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCyyyyyyy

2. Upload the CSV File

1. Go to the New Import section in ChannelCrawler.
2. Click Upload CSV and select your file.
3. A message will confirm when the CSV structure is valid.

3. Review Your Imported Channels

Once your CSV has been uploaded and validated:

• A search is automatically created with the imported channels.
• Click on the search to view the list of channels.

Here, you can:

• Apply filters to narrow down the channels that meet your criteria.
• Extract a list of emails from these channels, if available.
• Deduplicate these channels from future exports you create.

4. Enrichment for Missing Channels

If any channels in your list are not in our database:

• We will automatically findthem, so they’re ready for future searches and exports.

Key Points

• Imports help you quickly build a focused list of YouTube channels with emails where available.
• Avoid paying for duplicate channels in your future exports.
• Enrichment ensures no channel is missed for future outreach.
