Amazon Polly to email or Dropbox

Hi - I’m quite new to Zapier but I’m trying to create something but I’m not sure if it’s possible or if I’m approaching it wrong.

I want to create an audio weather forecast using Zapier Weather & Amazon Polly

I’ve manged to link the weather zap & Polly and have successfully created an audio weather forecast which is generated when I press ‘test’

I would like the audio file (mp3 etc) to be created automatically every day and for either a link to be emailed to me or a file to be sent to my dropbox (or other online storage)

At the moment I have no idea how to get the audio file to me from Amazon Polly unless I intervene manually.

 

Does anyone have any ideas how to achieve this? thanks

Hi @Midsomer 

The Amazon Polly Speak Text action will return a file.

 

 

You can map that File to future steps in the Zap using the ‘Custom’ option for fields.

Hi Troy, thank you so much for your assistance.

I’ve now managed to output the file and send it to a Dropbox folder.
