Fully automating Spotify → transcript/summary → Notion

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! :folded_hands:

Hey there,

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