Multilingual After-Visit Voice Notes: OpenAI + ElevenLabs + Gmail + Airtable

Turn After-Visit Notes into Multilingual Voice Messages—Automated

This n8n workflow rewrites clinician after-visit notes into short, plainly spoken instructions in the patient’s own language, generates an MP3 using OpenAI + ElevenLabs, emails the audio via Gmail, and logs everything in Airtable so your follow-up call list stays current.

What this workflow does

• Receives clinician notes through the After Visit Summary Ready webhook, including patient name, email, language, and visit notes.
• Normalizes and validates detail (via Normalize Visit Notes and an Enough Detail? check) to ensure the content is suitable for patient instructions.
• Simplifies for patient listening using the Simplify for Patient agent with GPT-6.1-sol, rewriting the notes into sixth-grade, short spoken sentences—while preserving medication names and dosing exactly.
• Prepares the narration script (including the email subject and an MP3 filename) through Prepare Spoken Instructions.
• Generates an MP3 audio file using ElevenLabs (link: https://try.elevenlabs.io/khmuhtadin-creator).
• Emails the audio to the patient using Gmail in Email Voice Instructions.
• Logs send + follow-up scheduling in Airtable via Log Patient Instructions, including a follow-up due date.
• Triggers care coordination when the patient language is not English (via Interpreter Follow Up?), and a daily lane emails the coordinator patients due a call based on the Airtable log.

Use cases

• Automating multilingual post-visit instructions for clinics and care teams.
• Reducing misunderstandings by providing audio instructions with preserved medication dosing.
• Keeping interpreter follow-ups and daily call lists organized through Airtable.
