Transcribe audio links from new Google Docs

Drop an audio link into a new Doc and get a Deepgram transcript without opening another tool.

Trigger

New Document Created

Triggers when a new Google Doc is created. This trigger monitors Google Docs and fires when new documents are detected. Uses timestamp filtering to efficiently poll for new documents.

Action

Transcribe Pre-recorded Audio

Tool to transcribe pre-recorded audio files into text. use when you need to convert an audio file at a url to text after confirming the file url is publicly accessible.

Why this helps

Audio links arrive in Docs, but transcription waits for a separate upload and follow-up step.

  • Cuts copy and paste between Docs and transcription tools
  • Creates a text record while the context is fresh
  • Works from a simple document creation trigger

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Google Docs and Deepgram once in Notis
  • 2Create an automation named New Doc Audio Transcription
  • 3Tell Notis to find a publicly accessible audio URL in each new Doc and transcribe it with Deepgram
  • 4Pick New Document Created as the trigger
  • 5Choose a report channel, then test with one Doc containing a real public audio URL

Questions about this workflow

What if the new Doc has no audio URL?

The run should report that no usable public audio URL was found and stop without a transcription.

Can I transcribe a private Drive audio file?

No. Deepgram requires a publicly accessible URL for this action unless your connected setup provides another supported input.
