1. Upload email attachments directly to Transcribe

Receiving a constant flow of meeting recordings and audio files via email can be daunting. Manually downloading and uploading these files for transcription wastes valuable time, and when you receive a high volume of emails daily, it's easy for important files to slip through the cracks.

With the Zapier x Transcribe integration, you can automate this entire process. Simply set up a Zap to automatically upload relevant email attachments directly to Transcribe. That way, when a new audio file attachment is detected, Zapier will instantly upload it to Transcribe for transcription. All that, and you don't have to lift a finger!

2. Send new audio files from a Google Drive folder directly to Transcribe

Managing audio files stored in cloud storage can be just as tedious as handling email attachments. Manually transferring these files from Google Drive (or other cloud storage services like Dropbox, OneDrive and iCloud) to your transcription service can be time-consuming and disruptive.

The Zapier x Transcribe integration streamlines this process. By setting up a Zap, you can automate the transfer of new audio files from a designated Google Drive folder directly to Transcribe. Once configured, Zapier will monitor your chosen folder for any new audio files, and when a new audio file is added, it will instantly be uploaded to Transcribe for transcription.

3. Upload completed transcripts to Google Drive

Once your audio files have been transcribed, the next step is to ensure that these transcripts are easily accessible to your team. Manually downloading completed transcripts and uploading them to your cloud storage is another one of those repetitive and somewhat mundane tasks.

With the Transcribe x Zapier integration, you can set up Zapier to automatically upload completed transcripts from Transcribe to a designated folder in Google Drive (or your preferred cloud storage service). This means that as soon as a transcription is finished, it will be instantly transferred to your chosen folder so that your team has immediate access to the latest transcripts.

This automation not only saves time but also ensures that all transcripts are consistently organized and stored in one central location for easy access and better collaboration.

4. Send new transcriptions via email

Keeping your team or wider company up to date with the latest meeting notes or project updates can often mean manually emailing files around. Which is of course time-consuming. And when you're busy, you might not find time to get that email sent for a good few hours - or even days!

By setting up a Zap, you can configure Zapier to automatically send an email with the completed transcription attached as soon as it's ready. This ensures that everyone who needs access to the transcription receives it promptly - and without any extra effort on your part.

5. Create new items in Monday or Asana when a file is added to Transcribe

Project management tools like Monday.com and Asana are often the key to managing tasks and projects efficiently. They keep everything organized, ensure smooth progress, and help maintain productivity.

With the Transcribe x Zapier integration, you can automate the creation of new tasks or items in Monday.com or Asana whenever a new file is added to Transcribe for transcription. This task can include all relevant details, such as the file name, a link to the transcription, an assignee, and the due date.

This ensures that your project management tool is always up-to-date with the latest transcription tasks, allowing your team to track progress and collaborate more effectively.
