Turn your note content into a publish ready podcast feed. Great for marketers, writers, and teams who keep ideas in Obsidian and want an audio version without editing.

A webhook receives the selected text from your note. OpenAI creates an MP3 voice track and also writes a short episode description. The audio uploads to Cloudinary, which returns a shareable link and the play time. Data is combined and stored in Google Sheets as title, link, description, and duration. A second webhook serves an RSS feed that is built from the sheet using a simple code step, so podcast apps can read it.

Plan on setting up OpenAI, Cloudinary, Google Sheets, and the Obsidian plugin. Once connected, a note sent from Obsidian comes back as audio, lands in your sheet, and appears in your RSS URL. Most teams move from two hours per episode to under ten minutes with fewer copy paste mistakes. Ideal for content teams who want a steady audio channel without learning audio tools.

1. Import the template into n8n: Create a new workflow in n8n > Click the three dots menu > Select 'Import from File' > Choose the downloaded JSON file.
2. You'll need accounts with OpenAI, Google Sheets, Cloudinary and Obsidian. See the Tools Required section above for links to create accounts with these services.
3. Open the Webhook GET Note node in n8n and copy the Production URL. This will receive note content.
4. In Obsidian, install the Post Webhook plugin and paste the Production URL from the Webhook GET Note node. Name the command so it is easy to find.
5. In the n8n credentials manager, create a new OpenAI credential using your API key from the OpenAI account page. Select this credential on both OpenAI nodes.
6. In Cloudinary, create an unsigned upload preset and note your cloud name, API key, and secret. In n8n, set an environment variable named CLOUDINARY_ENV to your cloud name, then create an HTTP Custom Auth credential with your Cloudinary details and select it on the Upload Audio to Cloudinary node.
7. Open the Upload Audio to Cloudinary node and set the upload_preset to your preset. Keep resource_type as auto so Cloudinary returns duration.
8. Create a Google Sheet with columns Title, Link, Description, Duration. In the Append Item to Google Sheet node, click Create new credential and connect your Google account, then select the spreadsheet and sheet, and map fields to match the columns.
9. Open the Get Items from Google Sheets node and choose the same spreadsheet and sheet so the feed pulls the latest episodes.
10. Open the Manually Enter Other Data for Podcast Feed node and fill in podcast title, author, summary, category, and artwork URL as needed.
11. Open the Webhook GET Podcast Feed node and copy the Production URL. This is your RSS endpoint to use in podcast apps.
12. Send a small test note from Obsidian using the plugin. Confirm the webhook response returns an MP3 or link and that the audio appears in Cloudinary.
13. Check Google Sheets for a new row with the correct title, link, description, and duration.
14. Open the Podcast Feed webhook URL in a browser to view the XML. If needed, check it with a feed validator and try subscribing in a podcast app.
15. If Cloudinary returns a 401 or no duration, verify credentials, upload preset, and resource_type auto. If Obsidian fails, ensure you use the Production URL. If the feed is empty, confirm sheet column names and field mappings in the Append node.
