Automate Sound Library Creation with Google Sheets & ElevenLabs

Transform the way you create sound libraries with our powerful n8n workflow integrating Google Sheets, ElevenLabs, and Google Drive. This automated solution seamlessly generates, stores, and organizes sound effects, providing a turnkey solution for managing audio assets without manual hassle.

What this workflow does

• Initiates on command or every 15 minutes to check for new sound-effect prompts listed in your Google Sheets.
• Processes batches of prompts, verifying and clamping necessary data inputs such as DurationSeconds and PromptInfluence.
• Utilizes the ElevenLabs API to convert each sound-effect description into an MP3 file.
• Automatically uploads each generated MP3 to a predetermined Google Drive folder using a unique, deterministic filename.
• Tracks status updates in Google Sheets: marking items as Done with links upon success, or Failed with error notes upon failure.
• Summarizes each workflow run by sending a concise recap message to a designated Slack channel.
