Automate Google Drive Media Transcription to Google Sheets
detail.loadingPreview
Automatically transcribe audio and video files uploaded to Google Drive using AWS Transcribe, then log the transcription details and content directly into a Google Sheet. This workflow is ideal for streamlining media content analysis and record-keeping without manual intervention.
About This Workflow
This powerful n8n workflow revolutionizes how you handle media files by creating an end-to-end automation for transcription and data logging. It automatically triggers upon a new file upload in a specified Google Drive folder, seamlessly moving the media to an AWS S3 bucket. AWS Transcribe then takes over, converting speech into text. The workflow smartly pauses, awaiting the transcription's completion via a webhook, ensuring efficient handling of long-running processes. Finally, all relevant data—including the recording name, original Google Drive link, transcription date, and the full transcript—is neatly organized and appended to a Google Sheet, creating a searchable and accessible archive for your media content.
Key Features
- Google Drive Monitoring: Automatically detects new audio/video file uploads in a designated Google Drive folder.
- AWS S3 Integration: Securely uploads your media files to an AWS S3 bucket for reliable storage and processing.
- Automated AWS Transcribe: Initiates and manages speech-to-text transcription jobs using Amazon's powerful AI service.
- Asynchronous Processing: Leverages a webhook-based wait node to efficiently handle long-running transcription tasks, resuming only upon completion.
- Google Sheets Logging: Automatically compiles and appends transcription results, metadata, and original file links into a structured Google Sheet.
How To Use
- Google Drive Trigger1: Connect your Google Drive account using an OAuth2 credential. Paste the full URL of the specific Google Drive folder you wish to monitor for new file uploads.
- AWS S3 1: Configure your AWS credentials. Replace the placeholder
"mybucket"with the actual name of your S3 bucket where media files will be stored. - AWS S3 2: Ensure this node is also configured with your AWS credentials and targets the same S3
bucketName. It helps dynamically retrieve file information for transcription. - AWS Transcribe 1 & 2: Configure both nodes with your AWS credentials. The transcription job name and media file URI are automatically derived from the preceding steps.
- Wait: This node will pause the workflow until the transcription job is complete. After activating the workflow, n8n will provide a unique webhook URL for this node. You will need to configure AWS Transcribe (or an intermediary AWS Lambda function reacting to Transcribe completion events) to send a POST request to this n8n webhook URL with the
transcriptin the JSON body upon job completion. - Set: No direct configuration is required for this node; it automatically structures the data from previous steps into meaningful fields for the final output.
- Google Sheets: Connect your Google Sheets account using an OAuth2 credential. Replace
"qwertz"with the ID of your target Google Sheet. Ensure your sheet has corresponding columns (e.g., 'recording_name', 'recording_link', 'transcription_date', 'transcription') to receive the data.
