Plaud Recordings to Google Drive Sync
Saves ~45 min
Details
Automatically backs up your Plaud recordings to Google Drive and keeps a tracking spreadsheet in Google Sheets. Each time you run this workflow, it downloads any new recordings from your Plaud account to a "Plaud Recordings" folder in Drive, creates a transcript for each recording (using Plaud's built-in transcripts when available, or automatic speech-to-text otherwise), saves the transcript alongside the audio file, identifies what each recording is about (meeting, interview, note, etc.), and logs everything in a spreadsheet with links to the audio and transcript files. You can run this as often as you like - it only processes new recordings and won't duplicate anything. Just connect your Plaud, Google Drive, and Google Sheets accounts and run it whenever you want to sync your latest recordings.

Find or Create Sheet
Locate the tracking spreadsheet. First run action 'search' with query 'Plaud Recordings'. If a spreadsheet named exactly 'Plaud Recordings' exists, use its spreadsheet_id; if none exists, run action 'create' with title 'Plaud Recordings' and initial_headers ['Recording ID','Recording Link','Status','Recording Type','Transcript Link','Recorded At'] on the first tab. Then run action 'get_headers' and, for EACH of 'Recording Type', 'Transcript Link', and 'Recorded At' that an existing sheet is missing, add it with action 'append_column' (one call per missing column, in that order). Do not assume the tab is called 'Sheet1' — read the real tab name from get_headers. Output the spreadsheet_id AND the tab name (sheet_name) for all downstream Sheets steps.
