Summarize Apple podcast episodes with ElevenLabs and GPT-5-MINI

How it works

• Submit one or more Apple Podcast episode URLs via the built-in n8n form
• The workflow queries the iTunes API to retrieve each podcast's public RSS feed, then parses the XML to locate the matching episode's MP3 file
• ElevenLabs Scribe transcribes the full audio by passing the MP3 URL directly - no file download needed
• GPT-5-MINI generates a structured summary for each episode: title, key points, useful info, and a bottom line
• All summaries are combined into a formatted HTML email and delivered to your inbox

Set up steps

• Setup takes about 5 minutes
• Connect three credentials: ElevenLabs (HTTP Header Auth with your API key), OpenAI API, and Gmail OAuth2
• Update the recipient email address in the "Send Summary Email" node
• Detailed instructions are in the sticky notes inside the workflow
