Creating a script to Run Youtube Music on my Android Phone

Hi All,
I am new to this and I would appreciate your help. I have a playlist on my Youtube Music that I want to set an automation for it to run whenever I give google assistant a specific command "Run Music". I have tried to do this without automation but it is not working. So figured will give automation a try. Is there away to write a script that when giving the command "Run Music" my phone will start the playlist on Youtube music?

Thanks in advance.

Not 100% sure, but you might want to try using the Google Home app’s Routines feature it can sometimes trigger media like playlists with custom commands. Hope you find a solution!

I have tried that. However, it is not working even when I give it my playlist name and set up my default music player.

Hi abdullahazzam,

Thanks for reaching out to the community! I understand you want to create an automation that plays your YouTube Music playlist when you say 'Run Music' to Google Assistant. I see that you've already tried some direct commands without success. Let's work together to find a solution! To gather some more details, I'd like to ask the following questions:

Is the Google Assistant enabled on your phone device? Please check out this link to enable it: Set up Google Assistant on your phone or tablet
Which operating system are you using? Is it Android or iOS?
Is your Google Home app updated? Visit this link to update it: Update the Google Home app
When you say 'Run Music,' does the Google Assistant acknowledge your command at all?

Please let me know if you have any additional information; it would be helpful.

Best regards,
Juan
