Get video ideas backed by vidIQ data on WhatsApp every Monday
An AI agent reviews your channel and the trends in your topic on vidIQ every Monday and sends you video ideas with their keyword on WhatsApp.
How do I get YouTube video ideas every week without spending hours watching trends?
A scheduled task runs early on Mondays. The Met identifies your channel on vidIQ, checks its analytics and how its performance is trending, looks at which videos are trending in your topic and which ones stand out above the rest, and researches the keywords for the most promising topics. With that it builds a short list of ideas, each with the keyword and the video behind it, and sends it to you on WhatsApp. You decide what to film; the Met publishes nothing. Everything comes from your vidIQ account.
What starts it
At a set time
A task on a weekly recurring trigger, early on Monday, so the list is ready when the team plans the week. Each run queries vidIQ with your account, and that usage runs on your vidIQ plan.
A task on a recurring (cron) or date and time trigger. It runs on its own, with nobody logged in.
Who runs it
Analytics Met that suggests videos with vidIQ
Social team
It has no seeded name. It is an internal Met with vidIQ connected: its work ends when the list of ideas reaches whoever decides what gets filmed, not when the video is published.

The procedure, step by step
Each step shows the tool that runs. They belong to the real connector: if one of them stopped existing, this page would not build.
- 1
Identify your channel
The Met lists the channels on your vidIQ account and keeps the one you named in the skill. If you have more than one channel, each one can get its own list of ideas.
- 2
Check how the channel did
The Met checks the channel's analytics and how its performance evolves over time. That way it knows which kind of video has been working and does not suggest more of what stopped performing.
- 3
See what is trending in your topic
The Met lists the trending videos and keeps the ones related to your topic. A trend that has nothing to do with what you sell does not make the list, even if it is everywhere.
- 4
Find the videos that stand out
The Met looks for the outlier videos in your topic: the ones performing far above the rest. They are the best hint of an angle people want to watch and few channels cover yet.
- 5
Back each idea with its keyword
For the most promising topics, the Met researches the keywords on vidIQ and picks the search behind each idea. Then it sends you a short list on WhatsApp: the idea, the keyword and the video that inspired it.
Before you start
What you need ready
The Met solves none of these for you. If one is missing, the automation stops there.
-
A vidIQ account with your channel
The account you use vidIQ with, with your YouTube channel among that account's channels. Usage runs on your vidIQ plan; Meteor does not resell the service.
-
vidIQ connected in Met
In Met, open Connections → vidIQ → Connect and sign in with your vidIQ account to authorize Met. The tools in this procedure only query data.
-
A WhatsApp line and a number to receive the summary
The business connects its WhatsApp Business API line and sets in the task which number gets the list. Outside the 24 hours window, Meta only allows an approved template.
The limits
What this automation does NOT solve
Better said here than discovered halfway through the rollout.
-
It does not film, edit or publish videos. It tells you what to film and why; the rest is still work for you or your team.
-
It does not guarantee an idea will work. Trends and standout videos are vidIQ signals, not a promise of views.
-
It does not use your real YouTube income. If the list mentions earnings, they are vidIQ estimates.
-
It does not send the summary outside the 24 hours window without a template approved by Meta. If nobody has written to the line in that time, the task needs that template.
FAQ
Questions about this automation
Yes. The day and frequency are part of the scheduled task. Each run queries vidIQ with your account, so it makes sense to start with one a week and adjust.
Yes. Trends, standout videos and keywords do not depend on the size of your channel; what changes is how much your own channel's analytics have to say.
No. Every tool in this procedure queries data. The Met hands you the ideas and you decide which ones to film and when to publish them.
