Create draft site posts from finished interview transcripts

Automatically turn finished interview transcripts into draft site posts across HappyScribe, Files By Zapier, Formatter by Zapier, Zapier Tables, URL Shortener by Zapier, and Ghost. Create and update drafts when transcription finishes, transcript completes, or transcript file closesβ€”so you can generate excerpt fields, populate featured images, and keep source links ready without manual drafting.

How this automation drafts post content for approvals
