Google Drive draft doc to narrated audio in Dropbox

When a Google Doc lands in a watched Drive folder, this narrates it with ElevenLabs and delivers the MP3 to a shared Dropbox folder for the production team.

What it does

Watches a Google Drive folder for finished article drafts and produces a narrated audio file for each one, delivered to a shared Dropbox folder where your editor or producer picks it up. It is a clean handoff between writing and post-production without anyone touching a recording booth.

When to use it

Use it when writers draft in Google Docs and a separate person handles final mixing and publishing. The workflow removes the manual export-narrate-upload shuffle between those two roles.

How it works

  1. 1A new or updated Google Doc appears in the watched Drive folder, firing the trigger.
  2. 2The flow reads the document text and normalizes it into a narration-ready script.
  3. 3ElevenLabs synthesizes the script into a high-quality MP3.
  4. 4The audio file, named to match the source doc, is uploaded to the shared Dropbox production folder.
