It starts by reading structured script data from Google Sheets, including text content, speaker details, voice descriptions, and style instructions. Each row is processed in batches to safely handle API limits, sending the text to the Qwen3-TTS model on Replicate to generate individual audio segments with customized voice design. Generated audio URLs are written back to the spreadsheet for tracking. Once enough segments are available, the workflow triggers an external FFmpeg API to merge them into a single audiobook file. Status polling and wait nodes ensure asynchronous, fault-tolerant execution. After merging is complete, the final audio file is retrieved and uploaded to Google Drive with a timestamped filename, ready for distribution or review.\n\n### **Setup steps**\n\nBegin by configuring the Google Sheets node to connect to your script document, ensuring required columns such as Text, Speaker, Voice Description, Style Instruction, Temp URL, and To Merge are present. Next, set up API credentials in n8n for Replicate (Qwen3-TTS), Fal.run (FFmpeg audio merging), and Google Drive OAuth2 for storage. Populate the spreadsheet with voice descriptions and style instructions compatible with the Qwen3-TTS model. Verify the target Google Drive folder ID in the upload node to control where the final audiobook is stored. Once configuration is complete, manually trigger the workflow to process script rows, generate audio segments, merge them, and upload the finished audiobook automatically.\n"
