6.1. Include tags that are linked to the videos you wish to add to your automated playlist.
6.2. After you add your tags, it's time to set up your tags conditions.
Here's an explanation of how "OR" & "AND" conditions work in this context:
OR Condition:
- When you set up an automation rule with an "OR" condition, it means that the rule will trigger if any one of the specified conditions is met.
- For example, if you have two conditions: Tag is "How to 2" OR "Presentation 1", the automation will trigger if a video has either the "How to 2" tag or the "Presentation 1" tag.
AND Condition:
- When you set up an automation rule with an "AND" condition, it means that the rule will trigger only if all of the specified conditions are met simultaneously.
- For example, if you have two conditions: "Tag is 'How to 2'" AND "Presentation 1", the automation will trigger only if a video has both the "How to 2" tag and "Presentation 1" tag.
Using "OR" and "AND" conditions allows you to create flexible automation rules that can be tailored to your specific workflow needs.
