This will take you to the workflow window where you can set up your trigger and action steps for the automation.

3. Set Up Trigger for New YouTube Video

In the workflow window, the first step is to set your trigger. Select ‘YouTube’ as the trigger application. This allows the workflow to initiate when a new video is published on your channel.

Choose the trigger event as ‘New Video in a Channel with Video URL’. After that, click on the ‘Connect’ button to link your YouTube account with Pabbly Connect. If you haven’t connected your account yet, select ‘Add a New Connection’ and follow the prompts to grant the necessary permissions.

4. Generate Transcription Using Happy Scribe

Once the trigger is set, the next step is to create the transcription. Select ‘Happy Scribe’ as the action application in Pabbly Connect. Then, choose the action event as ‘Create Transcription’.

Connect your Happy Scribe account by entering the API key and organization ID. You can find these in your Happy Scribe account settings. After connecting, you will need to map the transcription name, language, and media URL to ensure the transcription is generated correctly.

• Set the transcription name dynamically using the previous step’s output.
• Select the language for the transcription, such as ‘English India’.
• Map the media URL from the YouTube trigger response.

After configuring these settings, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to ensure the transcription is created successfully.

5. Upload Transcription to Google Drive

After generating the transcription, the next step is to upload it to Google Drive. In Pabbly Connect, select ‘Google Drive’ as your action application, and choose the action event as ‘Upload a File’.

Connect your Google Drive account by selecting ‘Add a New Connection’ and signing in with your Google account. Once connected, you will need to map the file URL from the previous Happy Scribe step, as well as the folder ID where you want to save the file.

Map the download link received from the Happy Scribe response. Extract the folder ID from the Google Drive URL. Map the file name to the title of the video.

Finally, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to complete the process. The transcription will now be uploaded to your selected Google Drive folder automatically whenever you publish a new video.
