Upload Podcast Episodes to Spotify via RSS & Google Drive

This workflow streamlines podcast publishing by reading your finished MP3 file from a local path or prior automation, uploading it to Google Drive to generate a public shareable link, fetching your existing rss.xml from a GitHub repository, appending a new episode item with title, description, pub date, and MP3 URL, then committing the updated RSS back to GitHub. This triggers automatic updates on Spotify and other platforms linked to your RSS feed, assuming it's already connected in Spotify for Podcasters.

Benefits include eliminating manual XML editing, link copy-pasting, and repetitive uploads, saving hours per episode. It's reliable for consistent formatting, ensures Spotify-compliant audio distribution, and maintains a single GitHub source for multi-platform syndication. Perfect for scaling content creation without technical headaches.

Ideal use cases: Automate weekly AI-generated podcasts, batch-publish episodes, or integrate with content pipelines for hands-off distribution to Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and more. Requires Google Drive OAuth, GitHub repo with rss.xml, and pre-linked RSS in Spotify.
