Make.com transcription integration

For operators wiring Whipscribe into a scenario alongside Drive, Airtable and an LLM module. The job: submit a new recording to Whipscribe and pull the transcript back into the rest of the scenario.

Wiring it up

1 · Trigger

Any of these start the run:

• Google Drive → Watch files in a folder
• Dropbox → Watch files
• Webhooks → Custom webhook

2 · Submit from HTTP → Make a request

# submit — returns immediately, does not block
curl -X POST https://whipscribe.com/api/v1/transcribe/url \
  -H "X-API-Key: $KEY" \
  -H "Idempotency-Key: make-$FILE_ID" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"url":"https://example.com/recording.mp4",
       "diarize":true,
       "word_timestamps":true}'

→ 202 {"job_id":"a1b2…","status":"queued"}

# then poll — a self-serve (Pro) key collects by polling
curl "https://whipscribe.com/api/v1/jobs/$JOB" -H "X-API-Key: $KEY"
→ {"status":"processing"} … {"status":"done"}

3 · Collect

Submit, store the job id, and poll only the rows still queued.

# one job, every format — never re-submit per format
curl "https://whipscribe.com/api/v1/jobs/$JOB/result?format=txt" -H "X-API-Key: $KEY"
curl "https://whipscribe.com/api/v1/jobs/$JOB/result?format=srt" -H "X-API-Key: $KEY"
curl "https://whipscribe.com/api/v1/jobs/$JOB/result?format=vtt" -H "X-API-Key: $KEY"
