This workflow contains community nodes that are only compatible with the self-hosted version of n8n. Overview This workflow automates the process of transcribing audio files and summarizing them using OpenAI models, with the final output stored neatly in Notion. Whether you're a researcher, content creator, student, or professional, this automation saves time by converting voice recordings into actionable summaries with zero manual effort. Created by: Abdullah Dilshad Contact: iamabdullahdilshad@gmail.com Who It’s For This template is ideal for: Researchers: Transcribe and summarize interviews, lectures, or research recordings. Content Creators: Convert podcasts or videos into transcripts and social captions/show notes. Students: Automatically turn lectures or study group audio into summarized notes. Professionals: Log meeting notes and summaries directly into your Notion workspace. How It Works This four-step workflow performs the following: Step 1: Trigger: New Audio in Google Drive Automatically triggers when a new audio file (MP3/WAV) is uploaded to a specified Google Drive folder.The file is then downloaded for processing. Step 2: Transcribe Audio with Whisper The audio file is sent to OpenAI’s Whisper model for high-accuracy transcription. Step 3: Summarize Transcript with GPT-4 The transcript is passed to GPT-4, which generates a clean, concise summary. Step 4: Store Summary in Notion A new Notion page is created with the generated summary and optional metadata (file name, upload time, etc.). Setup Instructions Step 1: Google Drive Trigger Connect your Google Drive account. Select the folder you want to monitor. This node detects new file uploads and passes the file for download. Step 2: Download File Downloads the new audio file for transcription. Step 3: Transcribe Recording (OpenAI Whisper) Connect your OpenAI API Key. Ensure this node receives the binary audio file. It will return the transcription as plain text. Step 3: Transcribe Recording (OpenAI Whisper) Connect your OpenAI API Key. Ensure this node receives the binary audio file. It will return the transcription as plain text. Step 4: Summarize Transcript (GPT-4 via AI Agent) Use your OpenAI API Key. Configure a summarization prompt like: "Summarize the following transcript in a clear and concise manner:" Connect the output from Whisper into this GPT-4 prompt. Step 5: Notion Integration Connect your Notion account. Choose or create a database to store summaries. Map the GPT output (summary) to a "Text" or "Rich Text" property. Optionally include metadata like filename, file upload date, etc.
