Is there a way to instantly get the video data added to the playlist without using Youtube module on Make (which is a polling trigger). Is there a way to add a webhook to Youtube? Or maybe you know the better way to do the same?
This is because the module is a POLLING trigger, and not an INSTANT (Webhook) trigger.
There are two main types of triggers, Polling (scheduled), and Instant (webhooks). Polling triggers can only run on a schedule. Instant triggers can be run as soon as data is received by the webhook.
Polling means Make checks external service for changes (pull changes to Make).
Webhook (instant) triggers means external service calls Make when there are new changes (push changes to Make).
The module you are using does not push changes — it’s basically a API request that Make has to occasionally “call” to fetch the latest changes/items.
To find out more on the different types of Trigger modules, see refer to Types of Modules and Webhooks sections of the Make help center.
To answer your question:
See if your app has an “Instant” or “Webhook” trigger in Make. If not, check if the third-party service (YouTube) has a feature that can send out a webhooks when content is created/updated - and then you can point it to a “Custom Webhook” trigger in your scenario.

I know that and I ask if there is some other solutions to have webhook in Youtube.
After doing a quick search, no, it appears YouTube doesn’t offer this for playlists.
One workaround is to poll the playlist more frequently.
If Make cannot do it often enough then you’ll need to resort to something you have more control over, like your own system, whether it’s local or remote/cloud.
You’d have to be sure your frequency does not exceed Google/YouTube’s rate limits.
