Hello friends,
I’m new to n8n and to automation platforms and I don’t code, so I’m hoping some of you could help me setup my first automation workflow.
I would like to create a workflow that automatically detects for newly created files in a Google Drive folder called “Meet Recordings”.
This folder is used by Google Meet to save meetings recordings. These recordings are saved in mp4 format only, and I need to convert these recordings to mp3.
I wanted to use the Google Drive 3rd party CloudConvert app to convert the recording mp4 file, but because Google Drive is showing these recording files without the mp4 extention at the end (meaning, instead of showing the file name “test-recording.mp4” it’s simply showing “test-recording”), CloudConvert is not offered by Google Drive as an app that can open these files, so I can’t easily convert them.
I would like to create an automation that runs the following steps:
- periodically scan the Google Drive folder named “Meet Recordings” for newly created files.
- rename new files that lack the .mp4 extension and add the extension .mp4 to them. (i.e, rename the files from “test-recording” to “test-recording.mp4”.
- after the file name was set to include .mp4, I would like to use the CloudConvert API to automatically convert the new file from mp4 to mp3.
- when a new mp3 file is created, I would like it to be saved back to Google Drive in the sub-folder “Meet Recordings/mp3”.
Can this workflow be achieved?
Hope someone can assist
