Question

Is there a way to set a trigger to create a Google Doc after publishing a Descript transcript as a weblink?

I have a zap the that creates a Google doc of the latest Descript transcripts.  The problem is the Trigger is “Transcript is ready” which is the initial automatic transcript Descript creates before manual correction.  

Is there a way to set the trigger to create the Google Doc after I publish the Descript transcript as a weblink?

 

Thanks in advance.

Hi @AnnaTyrie 

Good question.

There is only the 1 Descript Zap trigger that you are using.

Forgive me, I am a bit of a novice.  I am not sure what this means, and what I would need to do to make my zap work as I want it to.  Would you mind giving me the layman’s version please?
Thanks in advance.

It doesn’t look like there are the available controls from Descript to configure the Zap trigger as you want.

From the screenshot:

Users of Descript currently have 3 options to export their edited content.

  1. They can export files in various formats (manually)
  2. Share a Descript link (manually)
  3. Use our one-click cloud export to publish directly to a partner. (manually)

@Troy Tessalone thanks for jumping in with these resources! I wonder if @AnnaTyrie could add a filter in-between her Trigger & Action, only allowing for published transcripts to pass through the Zap. 

I’m not familiar with what data Descript brings over but @AnnaTyrie, if there is something that denotes a published transcript, Filter by Zapier could be an option!

Not sure that will work based on the Descript trigger description:
