Description

I'd like to have a trigger, that fires when a new comment is posted on any video in a specified channel. Right now you offer a trigger that fires on new comment on a specific video. My request is to fire on new comment on any video in a configured channel.

From looking at the API docs, there isn't a single request that can handle this. Instead it looks like it may have to do multiple request. First to list all the videos in a channel, then to get comments for each video.

Having an ability to trigger on any new comment allows me to clean notification emails out of my inbox and to set up to do tasks in my task manager so I can respond timely.

Research direction
The issue requests a new trigger for new comments on any video in a YouTube channel. The YouTube Data API does not provide a direct endpoint, so the implementation would involve first listing all videos in the channel using the search or playlistItems endpoint, then polling for new comments on each video using the comments thread list endpoint. The existing 'new comment in video' trigger can serve as a reference. The developer should also consider rate limits and pagination.
