Hey Edmund! Hmmm -- What are the files you're currently looking to transcribe? Are they audio files or mp4s?

Ah, ok gotcha! You can use the 'Analyze Media' action -- You will need it to be coming from a Google Drive file/action. You can also use this prompt within the action:


Take the users google drive url and output a google drive download link.

Here is how:
If you have a Google Drive sharing link like this:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/FILE_ID/view?usp=sharing

Extract the FILE_ID (the long string of characters between /d/ and /view)

Then create a direct download link using this format:
https://drive.google.com/uc?export=download&id=FILE_ID

Hmm -- what do you mean? You'll have to upload the file to google drive in this case
