Extract YouTube creators by hashtag into Google Sheets
Use EmbedSocial's YouTube creator discovery agent to build a list of creators already posting with a hashtag relevant to your brand.
One connection. Runs on your live EmbedSocial data.
What does it do?
Connect EmbedSocial with Claude or ChatGPT and Google Drive to create an agent that searches YouTube media collected through a #Hashtag source and extracts the creators behind it. The agent pulls each creator's channel name, video title, video URL, and view count, then writes the results as rows in a new spreadsheet tab, ready for review or outreach.
Useful for
- Building creator lists: turn YouTube posts from a #Hashtag source into a structured outreach shortlist;
- Scouting influencer partners: find who's already talking about your space before you reach out;
- Prioritizing by performance: sort creators by view count to focus on the ones with the most reach.

Real-world use case
Imagine you're scouting creators for an upcoming campaign and want a working list to start from. Instead of searching YouTube manually, you ask Claude or ChatGPT:
Using the EmbedSocial MCP, pull YouTube media from my #Hashtag source for [#hashtag]. Extract each creator's channel name, video title, URL, and view count, then write them as rows to a new tab called "YouTube creators" in my Google Sheet.
Your AI tool pulls the tracked YouTube content, extracts the creator details, and builds a spreadsheet your team can use to shortlist and reach out.
Prefer to build this into your own app instead of running it from a prompt? The same posts, mentions, reviews and widget analytics are available through the social media API.
