This n8n workflow automates the entire process of preparing and uploading a podcast episode, from fetching the RSS feed to publishing on Spotify. Initiated manually, it retrieves the latest RSS feed from GitHub, adds new episode details, uploads the episode’s audio to Google Drive, shares the file publicly, and updates the RSS feed with this new episode. The workflow also handles reading the audio file, converting RSS XML to JSON for compatibility, and updating the GitHub repository with the latest feed. This automation simplifies podcast management, enabling content creators to publish episodes efficiently without manual effort at each step.
