Hi @darialr 

For us to have more context about the error, we will need to see screenshots with how your steps are outlined and configured.

@darialr 

Check if the mapped variable URL value meets the conditions specified in the field description and is a publicly accessible URL.

It is an audio file url and is public (https://dcs.megaphone.fm/PODMAKEDEMO4555774879.mp3?key=aafe112f5d5539dddea3c18685bcaaa6&request_event_id=63ad760f-b920-47b0-b4e9-94ddf06d238a), but it does not come from the urls indicated in the description (Accepted domain names : airtable.com, discordapp.com, dropboxapi.com, dropboxusercontent.com, google.com, googleapis.com, twilio.com, zapier.com). If this is the problem, can you help me understand how to have a podcast episode transcribed every time a new one comes out?

@darialr 

Try adding this step to hydrate the file, then map the File output from this new step to Descript.

Otherwise, you’ll need to upload the file to one of the listed sites. (e.g. GDrive)

I'd like to but I don't know how: I need to get the file from RSS. Any suggestions?

@darialr

The RSS link for the file would need to be uploaded to GDrive, for example.

Then you would need to get the correct GDrive link to upload the file to Descript.

You may need to hydrate the link form the previous GET method first before uploading the file to GDrive.
