JustTranscribe

Automate transcription with Zapier

Trigger a Zap when a transcript finishes, or transcribe a public video link or an uploaded file as a step in one — then send the text, subtitles or summary anywhere Zapier connects. It runs on the same account and the same REST API as everything else.

Status: submitted, in review

The integration is built and has been submitted to Zapier for review. It is not yet listedin Zapier's own app directory, so searching for “JustTranscribe” inside Zapier won't find it today. In the meantime, the same transcription runs through the n8n community node or directly against the REST API.

What you'll be able to build

  • TriggerTranscript Completed — fires when a transcript on your account finishes, with the text and SRT/TXT files attached — no separate step to fetch them.
  • ActionCreate Transcript from URL — starts transcribing a public video link and waits until it's done before the Zap continues.
  • ActionCreate Transcript from File — transcribes a file from an earlier step (a WhatsApp .opus voice note, a Google Drive file, an email attachment) the same way.
  • ActionExport Transcript — downloads the finished transcript as SRT, VTT, TXT, CSV, Markdown, PDF or DOCX.
  • SearchFind Transcript — looks up a transcript by ID for a later step to use.

Both actions wait for the transcript to finish before handing control back to the Zap, so a typical automation — receive a recording, transcribe it, send the text somewhere — needs no polling loop or delay step in between.

Limits & behavior

  • Public links only — no private or login-required videos, no live streams. Up to 150 minutes per recording.
  • Same limits as the app and REST API: 3 new transcripts per hour, one processing at a time during the beta.
  • Authenticates with the same API key as the REST API and the n8n node — one key, one account, one set of limits everywhere.

FAQ

Is the Zapier integration live?

It's built and submitted to Zapier, currently in their human review. It isn't listed in Zapier's own app directory yet, so you can't search for it inside Zapier today — the same functionality is available right now through the REST API or the n8n community node.

What can I automate with it?

A trigger fires when a transcript finishes (with the text and SRT/TXT files attached), and actions create a transcript from a public video link or from a file produced earlier in the Zap. Both actions wait until the transcript is ready before the Zap continues, so there's no separate polling step to build.

Does it work with WhatsApp voice notes?

Yes — the file action accepts a .opus voice note exactly as it comes off the phone, same as the app and the REST API.

Which video platforms does it support?

Public YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, Pinterest and Google Drive links. Private or login-required videos can't be fetched this way — use the file action instead.

Is it free?

The first transcript is free with no account (up to 40 minutes); after that, a free account raises the limit to 150 minutes and 500 MB per file — unlimited transcripts during the beta, no card needed.
