YouTube Community Post Notifications That Actually Arrive
Get a push or email when a channel publishes a community post: polls, announcements, drop dates. Works without the YouTube app.
Short answer: creators announce drops, merch, schedule changes and polls in community posts, and YouTube rarely pushes them. Create an AyeWatch YouTube monitor in Community posts mode with the channel link. Each new post arrives as an alert with its text and a link.
Set it up
- Open Create a monitor → YouTube.
- In Monitor, choose Community posts.
- Paste the channel link, like
https://www.youtube.com/@mkbhd. - Optional: add Only alert me about, like "merch drops or giveaways".
- Pick a schedule and click Create monitor.
What you get
The first check saves the current posts as a starting point, so you are not flooded with old ones. After that, every check that finds something new sends one alert. The headline is the post itself, or "3 new from …" when several land at once, with a link to each post and its text.
Alerts land in your feed and as push in the AyeWatch iOS and Android app. On Pro and Pro+ you can also turn on email, Slack, or a webhook.
What it costs
Community posts is 2 credits a check, 3 with the filter.
| Check every | Credits a day | Plan that fits |
|---|---|---|
| Daily | 2 | Free Preview to try it, then Pro |
| Twice a day | 4 | Pro |
| A few times a day | 8 | Pro |
Plans: Free Preview gives you 3 credits to try a monitor on a daily check. Pro is $9 a month for 500 credits and checks as often as hourly. Pro+ is $19 a month for 1,500 credits and adds ASAP mode. Failed checks are refunded, and the form shows the exact daily credit use before you save.
