I’m looking to automate the upload of my podcast episodes. SoundCloud has been working well for this, but it doesn’t allow me to keep episodes private, which is a problem because I need an authorization step. Ideally, I’d like the episodes to stay private until a separate automation approves them for posting.
The final goal is to publish the podcast on Spotify, so it doesn’t have to be SoundCloud specifically. I’m just wondering if anyone is automating podcast uploads (especially track uploads) with Make.com and which app they’re using—preferably something other than SoundCloud.
Have you figured this out? I created an automation in Automation Anywhere that does this. I have a local recording app on my phone and I use an app to auto sync to a google drive folder. Then the AA script takes that file and loads it into Spotify, but it has to be manually triggered - it isn’t unattended. I was hoping to find a way to do this in Make.com so I could automate a few more steps, including after the fact transcribing the podcast, running through ChatGPT, then posting to our blog.
Hi @Sean_McSweeney, I’ve just looked through some Spotify dev forum posts and there doesn’t seem to be an API endpoint for that. How did you do it in Automations Anywhere (not familiar with it)?
Thanks 
I ended up automating it this way:
MP3 goes to a folder (sftp / drive / onedrive / whatever), that triggers the automation, I use Airtable to keep everything organized and extract the information I need to create an XML file with the RSS feed. I store that feed in the same folder as the MP3 and then keep updating it while MP3 arrives. This XML feed is connected to Spotify Podcasts.
Hope this made sense
