To begin the process of transcribing YouTube videos to text, PDF, and Docs automatically, access Pabbly Connect. Start by navigating to the Pabbly Connect website and signing in to your account. If you are a new user, you can sign up for a free trial to explore its features.

Once logged in, click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button to initiate the integration process. Here, you will set up your workflow to automate the transcription process every time a new video is uploaded to your YouTube channel.

2. Setting Up the Trigger Application in Pabbly Connect

In this step, you will set up YouTube as the trigger application in Pabbly Connect. Select YouTube and choose the trigger event as ‘New Video in Channel’. This event will monitor your YouTube channel for any new uploads.

• Click on ‘Connect’ to link your YouTube account.
• Authorize Pabbly Connect to access your YouTube account.
• Select your YouTube channel ID to complete the setup.

After saving the trigger, Pabbly Connect will fetch the details of the latest video uploaded to your channel. This information is essential for the next steps in the transcription process.

3. Creating Transcriptions Using Happy Scribe

Now that the trigger is set, the next action is to create a transcription using Happy Scribe through Pabbly Connect. Select Happy Scribe as your action application and choose the action event ‘Create Transcription’. Connect your Happy Scribe account by providing the necessary API key and organization ID.

Map the fields for the transcription by using the video title as the transcription name and selecting the language as English (India). Ensure you also map the media URL from the previous step. This mapping allows Pabbly Connect to dynamically use the latest video data for transcription.

4. Exporting the Transcription as PDF

After creating the transcription, the next step is to export it. In Pabbly Connect, select Happy Scribe again as the action application and choose ‘Create Export’ as the action event. This will generate a downloadable PDF file of your transcription.

• Map the transcription ID from the previous step to link the export with the correct transcription.
• Select PDF as the export format and set options for timestamps and speaker identification.

Once the export is created, Pabbly Connect will retrieve the export status, ensuring that the file is ready for download.

5. Uploading the PDF to Google Drive

The final step in the workflow is to upload the generated PDF file to Google Drive using Pabbly Connect. Select Google Drive as your action application and choose ‘Upload File’ as the action event. Connect your Google Drive account and authorize Pabbly Connect to access your files.

Map the downloadable link of the PDF file and specify the folder ID where you want to store the transcription. After confirming the details, save the workflow to complete the setup. Now, every time you upload a new video, the transcription will automatically be created and stored in your Google Drive.

Conclusion

Using Pabbly Connect, you can efficiently automate the process of transcribing YouTube videos to text, PDF, and Docs. This integration saves time and effort, ensuring your content is readily available in multiple formats.
