1. Setting Up Pabbly Connect for MP4 File Transcription

To transcribe MP4 files in OneDrive using Pabbly Connect, the first step is to access Pabbly Connect. Navigate to the Pabbly Connect website by entering ‘Pabbly.com/connect’ in your browser. If you’re new, click on the ‘Sign Up Free’ button to create an account. Existing users can simply log in using the ‘Sign In’ option.

Once logged in, you’ll arrive at the Pabbly Connect dashboard. From here, click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button to start a new integration. Name your workflow, for instance, ‘AI Agent for MP4 File Transcription’, and select the folder for your workflow. This action initiates the setup process for automating the transcription of MP4 files using Pabbly Connect.

2. Connecting OneDrive to Pabbly Connect

In this section, we will connect OneDrive to Pabbly Connect. Start by setting the trigger for the workflow. Choose ‘Microsoft OneDrive’ from the app options and select the trigger event as ‘New File’. Click on ‘Connect’ and then select ‘Add New Connection’ to link your OneDrive account.

• Authorize the connection by clicking the ‘Connect with Microsoft OneDrive’ button.
• Accept the permissions requested in the pop-up window.
• Specify the folder path where your MP4 files are located.

After successfully connecting OneDrive, set the folder path correctly by omitting ‘My Files’ and replacing the arrow with a slash. For example, if your folder is named ‘Audio Files’, the path should be ‘/Audio Files’. Click ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to capture the latest MP4 file uploaded.

3. Converting MP4 Files to MP3 Using CloudConvert

Now that we have integrated OneDrive with Pabbly Connect, the next step is to convert the MP4 file to MP3. For this, add an action step by searching for ‘CloudConvert’ and selecting it. Choose the action event ‘Convert a File’ and click ‘Connect’ to create a new connection to CloudConvert.

After the connection, map the file URL from the previous OneDrive trigger step to the CloudConvert action. Specify the input format as MP4 and the output format as MP3. It’s essential to provide a name for the new file, ensuring it has the correct MP3 extension. Click ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to send the file for conversion.

After sending the file, you will receive a response indicating that the conversion process has started. This step is crucial as it prepares the audio file for transcription by OpenAI.

4. Transcribing the MP3 File with OpenAI

With the MP3 file ready, the next action involves using OpenAI for transcription. In Pabbly Connect, add another action step and select ‘OpenAI’. Choose the action event ‘Generate Transcript’ and establish a new connection by providing your OpenAI API key.

To obtain the API key, log into your OpenAI account, navigate to the API key section, and create a new secret key. Copy this key back to Pabbly Connect. In the action step, map the audio file URL received from CloudConvert to the OpenAI action. Select the desired model for transcription, such as Whisper, and click ‘Save and Send Test Request’.

Upon completion, you will receive the transcription of the audio file, which can be used for further processing or storage.

5. Saving Transcriptions to Google Sheets

The final step in this workflow is to save the transcriptions to Google Sheets. In Pabbly Connect, add an action step for ‘Google Sheets’ and select the action event ‘Add New Row’. Establish a connection by signing in to your Google Sheets account.

• Choose the specific spreadsheet where you want to save the details.
• Select the appropriate sheet within that spreadsheet.
• Map the file name, transcription, and file link into the respective fields.

After mapping all the necessary details, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’. You should see a confirmation that the data has been successfully added to your Google Sheets. This integration allows for seamless tracking of transcriptions along with their source files.
