Fully automating Spotify → transcript/summary → Notion

[Clement_Caubarrus]

Hi everyone,

I’m looking for a fully automated way to archive and summarize the podcasts I listen to.

Goal: whenever I listen to or add an episode to a specific Spotify playlist, I want a system that:

• automatically detects the new episode,

• retrieves the transcript (or generates one from audio),

• creates a structured AI summary,

• and sends everything to Notion (ideally).

I want a clean, well-structured archive of everything I listen to.

I’ve tried building this in Make (Integromat) but I’m getting lost and can’t get a stable flow working.
For context: I already obtained an API key from ListenNotes (listennotes.com), so I’m open to using their API if that helps.

What I’m looking for

• A reliable setup or tool stack to automate this end-to-end (Spotify → transcript → AI summary → Notion).

• Alternatives welcome (Zapier, n8n, small script, other transcription/LLM services, different note apps, etc.).

• Bonus points for handling Spotify exclusives or episodes without public transcripts/audio.

Budget

• Free is great, but I can comfortably spend €15–20/month if it gets me a solid, maintenance-free workflow.

Here’s what i’ve done until now but to be honest I think it’s too difficult for me haha

Thanks a lot for any pointers, examples, or templates!

Hey there,

what issues are you having with your current flow at the moment?

Thanks a lot for your help and sorry for my late reply

From what I can see, my HTTP module seems to detect the podcast correctly (the input looks fine).

but there’s nothing coming out in the output — the “results” array is empty even though the query matches a real episode in my Spotify playlist.

Not sure if I’m missing a parameter or if it’s something with the ListenNotes search endpoint.

Let me know if you have any idea about what’s wrong

Thank you so much !

You’ve already done a lot of the hard work! Automating something that complex isn’t easy, especially with Spotify’s closed ecosystem. Honestly, using n8n or Make with ListenNotes plus an AI summarizer is doable, but it takes patience. If you want something stable with less setup, you might try NotionFlows or a small custom script using OpenAI + Notion API that keeps it simple and reliable.

That is an interesting idea! I give it some thoughts and get back if I can help you.
