Blog post voiced and posted before the newsletter

When a blog post is marked Published in Notion, the Marketing Agent converts the article body to speech using the brand voice via ElevenLabs, saves the MP3 to Google Drive, appends the audio URL to the Notion page, and posts the audio link to the #content Slack channel — the audio version is live before the newsletter goes out.

FAQs

Questions about ElevenLabs + Actionist

How does Actionist connect to ElevenLabs?
Go to the Apps tab, find ElevenLabs, and click Connect. Actionist connects via your ElevenLabs API key — log in to your ElevenLabs account, go to Settings, and copy your API key from the Profile section. Paste it into the API key field in Actionist and click Test connection. Actionist runs a read-only call to confirm the handshake before any actions run.
Which ElevenLabs plans work with Actionist?
Actionist connects to any paid ElevenLabs plan. The Free plan does not issue a usable API key for third-party integrations, so a Starter plan or higher is required. Higher-tier plans unlock additional models, higher character quotas, and features like voice cloning — Actionist can use any capability your account tier supports.
Can I use my own cloned voice with Actionist?
Yes. If your ElevenLabs account has a cloned voice, the agent can use it for any text-to-speech job by specifying the cloned voice's ID. You can find voice IDs in ElevenLabs under Voices, or your agent can call List Voices to retrieve them. Actionist can also create new voice clones from sample audio via the Clone Voice action on supported plan tiers.
What audio formats does ElevenLabs return and can Actionist handle them?
ElevenLabs returns audio in MP3 (128 kbps, 192 kbps depending on tier) and PCM formats. Actionist receives the audio file as a binary output from the ElevenLabs action and can pass it downstream to storage actions like Google Drive or Dropbox for saving, or to other apps that accept audio file inputs. The specific output format can be set as a parameter in the Convert Text to Speech action.
How does Actionist handle long documents that exceed ElevenLabs' per-request character limit?
ElevenLabs imposes a per-request character limit (typically 5,000 characters for most plans). For longer content, your agent can split the text into chunks within the limit, call Convert Text to Speech for each chunk, and concatenate the resulting audio files. This chunking logic can be part of the agent's processing steps before the ElevenLabs call. For very long documents, consider using a model with a higher character cap where available.
Can Actionist transcribe audio from video files, not just audio-only recordings?
ElevenLabs Speech to Text accepts common audio formats. For video files, your agent can first extract the audio track using a file-processing step before passing the audio to the Transcribe Audio action. Alternatively, many video storage services allow direct audio export that the agent can pipeline into ElevenLabs without a separate extraction tool.
Will agents approve actions before generating or deleting audio?
That is controlled by the Approval Modes setting on the agent. In Suggest or Ask each time modes, the agent surfaces its intended ElevenLabs action — the voice to be used, the text length, or the history item to be deleted — and waits for your approval before executing. In Guarded auto or Full auto modes, the agent proceeds without a pause. Destructive actions like Delete Voice and Delete History Item are good candidates to run in Ask each time mode so a human always authorises permanent deletions.
How do I prevent unexpected ElevenLabs character charges from agent tasks?
Use the Finance Agent's scheduled Get Character Usage Quota jobs to monitor consumption on a Monday, Wednesday, and Friday cadence. Set an alert threshold — for example 80% of your monthly quota — so the agent posts a Slack warning before the limit is reached. For large batch jobs, have the agent check the remaining quota before submitting and abort with a notification if headroom is insufficient. This way agents self-regulate before they generate overage charges.
