How to connect Notion and YouTube

Create a new workflow and add the first step

In n8n, click the "Add workflow" button in the Workflows tab to create a new workflow. Add the starting point – a trigger on when your workflow should run: an app event, a schedule, a webhook call, another workflow, an AI chat, or a manual trigger. Sometimes, the HTTP Request node might already serve as your starting point.

Transcribe YouTube videos & create GEO summaries with Whisper and GPT-4o-mini in Notion

📊 Description Automate your YouTube research workflow by extracting audio from any video, transcribing it with Whisper AI, and generating structured GEO (Goal–Execution–Outcome) summaries using GPT-4o-mini. 🎥🤖 This template transforms unstructured video content into actionable, searchable insights that are automatically stored in Notion with rich metadata.
