n8n Video Transcription Automation

Transcripts are ordered one file at a time, then lost in a download folder

We build this as an n8n workflow across storage and the transcription API. We keep the raw transcript. Cleanup is a step, not a destructive overwrite.

The problem

Transcripts are ordered one file at a time, then lost in a download folder.

What we automate

  • ✓ New masters sent to transcription without a ticket
  • ✓ Transcripts stored beside the master with the same id
  • ✓ Speaker labels cleaned enough for an editor to trust
  • ✓ Quotes flagged for the clip workflow
  • ✓ A searchable text copy for the team that does not open the edit bay

Example scope, not a client case study

The first week produces one workflow: new masters sent to transcription without a ticket. Done means a record your team can open, and an alert that names the record when a run fails. This describes the shape of the work. It is not a result from a named client.

How the n8n build works

1

Name the trigger and the done state

Done is a record in storage and the transcription API, not a feeling that the work happened.

2

Build the path your team described

The first release includes new masters sent to transcription without a ticket.

3

Add the stop rule

We keep the raw transcript. Cleanup is a step, not a destructive overwrite.

4

Alert on failure with the id

A broken run names the account, the file, or the deal. It does not say 'workflow failed' and stop there.

Why teams use this

✓

The repeated part runs every time, including Fridays

✓

A person still owns the step that can embarrass you

✓

You can read the workflow six months later

✓

The next related workflow reuses the same credentials and ids

n8n Video Transcription Automation only works if the trigger is an event you already have. We will not invent a signal. If the CRM, the file drop, or the form does not exist yet, that setup comes first.

We keep the raw transcript. Cleanup is a step, not a destructive overwrite. That constraint is in the workflow as a branch, so a future edit does not accidentally remove it.

What this costs

The scoping call is free. The build is priced per workflow after we see your systems, not as a flat package and not per n8n execution. n8n software is separate: self-hosting is free on your server, and n8n Cloud publishes its own Starter and Pro plans. Those are their prices, not our fee.

Who you talk to

The person who scopes the workflow is the person who designs it. You get that owner on the kickoff call. We reply within 24 hours. AI PROFI does not publish a specialist's local license, a phone number, or a street address for this service.

FAQ

How custom is this?
The steps above are the menu. We implement the ones that match storage and the transcription API as you use them, and we drop the ones you do not do.
Can Claude write the message or the summary?
Yes, on the draft step. Sending, posting, and paying stay behind the rule we agreed.
Where does it run?
Your n8n Cloud or the self-hosted instance we set up with you.
