Daily Batch Narration of Draft Posts in Dropbox

A scheduled agent scans a Dropbox drafts folder each morning, narrates any new long-form markdown files with ElevenLabs, and drops the audio plus a summary digest into Slack.

What it does

Runs once a day, finds long-form drafts that don't yet have audio, generates ElevenLabs narrations for the whole batch, and reports what it produced in one Slack digest.

When to use it

Use it when writers save drafts to a shared Dropbox folder and you want audio versions prepared in bulk overnight rather than one at a time on publish.

How it works

  1. 1A daily schedule triggers the run each morning.
  2. 2The agent lists the Dropbox drafts folder and selects markdown files above the long-form threshold that have no matching MP3 yet.
  3. 3For each new draft it converts the markdown to a clean spoken script and calls ElevenLabs to render audio.
  4. 4Each finished MP3 is written back beside its source file in Dropbox.
  5. 5A single Slack digest summarizes the batch: file names, runtimes, and links, plus any drafts skipped for being too short.
