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.
