Auto-create podcast from YouTube transcript using Dumpling AI and GPT-4o

🔎 Who is this for?

This workflow is designed for podcast creators, content marketers, and video producers who want to convert YouTube videos into podcast-ready scripts. It's perfect for anyone repurposing long-form content to reach audio-first audiences without manual effort.


🧠 What problem is this workflow solving?

Creating podcast scripts from YouTube videos manually is time-consuming. This workflow automates the process by pulling transcripts, cleaning the text, organizing the dialogue, summarizing the key points, and saving everything in one place. It removes the need for manual transcription, formatting, and structuring.


⚙️ What this workflow does

This workflow uses Dumpling AI and GPT-4o to automate the transformation of YouTube video transcripts into polished podcast scripts. Here's how it works:

  1. RSS Feed Trigger

    • Monitors a YouTube RSS feed for new video uploads. When a new video is detected, the workflow begins automatically.
  2. Get YouTube Transcript (Dumpling AI)

    • Uses Dumpling AI's get-youtube-transcript endpoint to extract the full transcript from the video URL.
  3. Generate Podcast Script with GPT-4o

    • GPT-4o receives the transcript and generates a structured JSON output including:
      • Cleaned transcript with filler words removed
      • Speaker labels for clarity
      • A short, engaging podcast title
      • A concise summary of the episode
  4. Save to Airtable

    • The structured data (title, summary, cleaned transcript) is saved to Airtable for easy review, editing, or publishing.

This automation is an ideal workflow for repurposing video content into audio-friendly formats, cutting down production time while increasing content output across platforms.

  2. 2. Import the template into n8n

    Open n8n, import the downloaded JSON, and review each node before activating the workflow.

  3. 3. Configure credentials and variables

    Replace placeholder credentials, API keys, webhook URLs, account IDs, and environment-specific values with your own settings.

  4. 4. Test with sample data

    Run the workflow manually or in a staging workspace, inspect node output, and confirm downstream systems receive the expected data.

  5. 5. Activate and monitor

    Enable the workflow only after testing, then monitor executions, errors, and rate limits during the first production runs.

5. General Notes & Resources

Review imported nodes carefully before activation. This catalog entry is intended to help you inspect the workflow structure, understand required services, and find related templates faster.

Node names, credentials, schedules, webhook paths, and external service limits may need adjustment for your workspace.
