1. Accessing Pabbly Connect for Automation

To automate subtitle generation, you first need to access Pabbly Connect. This integration platform allows seamless automation between various applications, including Google Drive and Salid API.

Begin by signing up for a free account on Pabbly Connect. After creating your account, you will reach the dashboard where you can create a new workflow. This is where the automation magic begins.

2. Creating a Workflow in Pabbly Connect

Creating a workflow in Pabbly Connect is straightforward. Click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button and name your workflow, such as ‘Google Drive to Salid API to Google Docs’.

• Select the folder in your Pabbly Connect account for the automation.
• Click on ‘Create’ to open your automation workflow.
• You will see two windows: Trigger and Action.

In the Trigger window, you will connect your Google Drive folder where you will upload video files. This connection allows Pabbly Connect to capture new files automatically.

3. Setting Up Google Drive Trigger in Pabbly Connect

For the trigger, search for Google Drive in the Pabbly Connect app options. Choose the trigger event as ‘New File in Specific Folder’. This captures every new video uploaded to the designated folder.

Connect your Google Drive account by clicking on ‘Sign in with Google’. Select your account, and allow Pabbly Connect to access your files. After connecting, choose the folder where you will upload your videos.

• Click ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to confirm the connection.
• Check the response to ensure the file details are received correctly.

This step ensures that Pabbly Connect can monitor your Google Drive folder for new uploads, initiating the automation process.

4. Sending the File to Salid API Using Pabbly Connect

Once the trigger is set, the next step is to send the uploaded video file to the Salid transcription API. In the action step, select Salid API and choose the action event as ‘Create AI Transcription’.

Connect your Salid API account by entering your API key and organization name. This connection allows Pabbly Connect to send the video file for transcription.

Map the video file URL from the Google Drive trigger response. Set the language code, and choose the output format (SRT).

This integration allows Pabbly Connect to process the video file, generating subtitles automatically without manual intervention.

5. Creating a Google Docs Document with Subtitles

After receiving the transcription from Salid API, the final step is to create a new document in Google Docs. In the action step, select Google Docs and choose the action event as ‘Create Document from Template’.

Connect your Google Docs account and select the template document you created for subtitles. Map the necessary fields such as file name, file URL, and subtitles into the document.

Enter the name for the new document. Select the folder in Google Drive where the new document will be saved.

This final integration step demonstrates how Pabbly Connect automates the entire process, from uploading a video to generating a fully formatted document with subtitles in Google Docs.
