The YouTube integration allows you to import data from your YouTube channel posts into Marfeel. This includes real-time engagement metrics such as posts, likes, comments, and followers. The posts from your channel will be synced and matched with existing articles based on text similarity with the article title. All data is available in the Explore module and Compass playbook. For a deeper dive on the social media module and how to get the most out of it, see the user guide.
