Description

How it works
Submit one or more Apple Podcast episode URLs via the built-in n8n form
The workflow queries the iTunes API to retrieve each podcast's public RSS feed, then parses the XML to locate the matching episode's MP3 file
ElevenLabs Scribe transcribes the full audio by passing the MP3 URL directly - no file download needed
GPT-5-MINI generates a structured summary for each episode: title, key points, useful info, and a bottom line
All summaries are combined into a formatted HTML email and delivered to your inbox

Set up steps
Setup takes about 5 minutes
Connect three credentials: ElevenLabs (HTTP Header Auth with your API key), OpenAI API, and Gmail OAuth2
Update the recipient email address in the "Send Summary Email" node
Detailed instructions are in the sticky notes inside the workflow
