What it does

This workflow turns a shared Dropbox folder into a drop-and-render voiceover service. Drop a plain-text or markdown script into the intake folder and a finished narration MP3 appears in the render folder, named to match the source.

When to use it

Use it when copywriters and video editors collaborate through Dropbox and want a low-friction way to request voiceovers without touching a project tool. It is ideal for high-volume reel production where each clip needs its own narration track.

How it works

  1. 1A new file arriving in the Dropbox /intake folder triggers the run.
  2. 2A filter checks the extension is .txt or .md and the file is under the size limit, skipping anything else.
  3. 3The file contents are read from Dropbox as the narration script.
  4. 4ElevenLabs renders the script to an MP3 using the configured voice and stability settings.
  5. 5The audio is uploaded to the Dropbox /render folder with a filename matching the source script.
