How to connect Google Drive and Synthesia

Create a new workflow and add the first step

In n8n, click the "Add workflow" button in the Workflows tab to create a new workflow. Add the starting point – a trigger on when your workflow should run: an app event, a schedule, a webhook call, another workflow, an AI chat, or a manual trigger. Sometimes, the HTTP Request node might already serve as your starting point.

Google Drive and Synthesia integration: Create a new workflow and add the first step

Send GitHub release audio newsletters with OpenAI, Google Drive, Gmail and Sheets

Quick overview This workflow triggers on a published GitHub Release, uses OpenAI to turn the release notes into a short spoken script and MP3, stores the audio on Google Drive, pulls subscribers from Google Sheets, and sends an HTML “listen” newsletter to them via Gmail. How it works Triggers when a GitHub Release is published for the configured repository. Parses and cleans the release changelog, extracting key items into features, fixes, improvements, and other notes. Uses an OpenAI chat model to rewrite the release details into a 60–90 second spoken script. Calls the OpenAI text-to-speech API to generate an MP3 audio file from the script. Uploads the MP3 to Google Drive and sets the file permissions to “anyone with the link can view.” Loads subscriber email addresses from Google Sheets, builds an HTML newsletter with the public audio link and release highlights, and sends it via Gmail using BCC. Setup Connect a GitHub credential with access to the target repo and replace YOUR_GITHUB_USERNAME and YOUR_REPO_NAME in the GitHub trigger. Add an OpenAI API credential for both the chat model step and the OpenAI TTS HTTP request. Connect Google Drive OAuth2 and replace YOUR_AUDIO_FOLDER_ID with the folder where the MP3 files should be saved. Connect Google Sheets OAuth2, replace YOUR_SUBSCRIBERS_SHEET_ID, and ensure your sheet includes subscriber rows with an Email (or email) column. Connect Gmail OAuth2 and replace YOUR_SENDER_EMAIL with the address that sends the newsletter.

To set up Synthesia integration, add the HTTP Request node to your workflow canvas and authenticate it using a generic authentication method. The HTTP Request node makes custom API calls to Synthesia to query the data you need using the API endpoint URLs you provide.

Requires additional credentials set up

Use n8n's HTTP Request node with a predefined or generic credential type to make custom API calls.
