Save new iOS Contacts to a Google Docs backup
How this automation works
Transcribe audio links in new Google Docs with AssemblyAI. When a new document is added to the specified Google Drive folder, the Applet extracts the audio file URL from the document body and submits it to AssemblyAI for transcription. Ideal for podcasters, journalists, or teams who paste episode or interview URLs into Google Docs and want automatic, searchable transcripts from AssemblyAI.
