Description

How it works:

Send notes from Obsidian via Webhook to start the audio conversion
OpenAI converts your text to natural-sounding audio and generates episode descriptions
Audio files are stored in Cloudinary and automatically attached to your notes in Obsidian
A professional podcast feed is generated, compatible with all major podcast platforms (Apple, Spotify, Google)

Set up steps:

Install and configure the Post Webhook Plugin in Obsidian
Set up Custom Auth credentials in n8n for Cloudinary using the following JSON:

{
"name": "Cloudinary API",
"type": "httpHeaderAuth",
"authParameter": {
"type": "header",
"key": "Authorization",
"value": "Basic {{Buffer.from('your_api_key:your_api_secret').toString('base64')}}"
}
}

Configure podcast feed metadata (title, author, cover image, etc.)

Note: The second flow is a generic Podcast Feed module that can be reused in any '[...]-to-Podcast' workflow. It generates a standard RSS feed from Google Sheets data and podcast metadata, making it compatible with all major podcast platforms.

This workflow was created by Obsidi8n and shared publicly on the n8n community template library. n8nFind indexes it for discovery — the workflow remains the property of its original creator.
