Auto-Generate Podcast Show Notes and Timestamps from Each New Episode

An n8n workflow that detects each new podcast episode, transcribes it, and has Claude write full show notes — summary, timestamped chapters, guest bio and pull quotes — saved for a one-paste publish, so podcasters stop spending an hour per episode on notes.

  1. 1

    Detect the new episode

    An RSS Feed Trigger on your podcast feed fires when a new episode publishes, giving you the title and audio URL.

  2. 2

    Transcribe the audio

    An HTTP Request sends the audio to a speech-to-text API and returns a timestamped transcript.

  3. 3

    Write show notes with Claude

    An HTTP Request to Claude returns strict JSON: a summary, chapters (MM:SS titles from real times), guest_bio and 3 quotes.

  4. 4

    Save for publishing

    A Google Sheets node stores the assembled notes next to the episode, ready to paste into your host and website.

Frequently asked questions

How does it get the episode audio?

Your podcast host publishes an RSS feed with the audio URL of each new episode. An RSS trigger catches it, and the audio is sent to a transcription API. No manual uploading — publishing the episode is the trigger.

Are the chapter timestamps accurate?

Yes — the transcript carries timestamps, so Claude maps real topic shifts to real times rather than guessing. You get chapter markers you can paste straight into Apple/Spotify show notes.
