What it does

Every time a newsletter lands in your designated Outlook "Sent Campaigns" folder, this workflow converts the written issue into a polished, narrated audio episode. It cleans the HTML into a readable script, voices it with ElevenLabs, writes companion show-notes, and files both in Dropbox so your audio version ships the same day as the email.

When to use it

Use this if you publish a recurring newsletter and want a hands-free "listen to this issue" audio version without re-recording anything yourself. Ideal for solo operators and small marketing teams who already send from Outlook and want an audio funnel with zero extra production steps.

How it works

  1. 1A new message arriving in the Outlook campaign folder triggers the run.
  2. 2OpenAI strips the HTML, removes footers and unsubscribe boilerplate, and rewrites the body into a clean spoken-word script.
  3. 3The same model drafts timestamped show-notes and a one-line episode summary.
  4. 4ElevenLabs renders the script to an MP3 in your chosen brand voice.
  5. 5The MP3 and the show-notes markdown are saved together in a dated Dropbox folder, ready to attach to your podcast host or RSS feed.
