Quick Start

1. Create a new Rule or open an existing Rule, for example, one with a "DOM Ready" Event.
2. (optional) Add the "Load YouTube IFrame API Script" Action Type.
3. Add the "Enable video playback tracking" Action Type. If the "Load YouTube IFrame API Script" Action Type was not used, then this Action Type will ensure that the YouTube IFrame API script is loaded.

Then add the appropriate Event Types in your Rules to track YouTube video playback interactions. Refer to each Event Type's table of Data Element Types that you can use in your Rules' Conditions and Actions.

Use the appropriate Data Element Types in your Rules to retrieve data about the YouTube video playback interactions, like the player's state, current time, video URL, etc. More information is available when setting up the Data Element Type.
