YouTube to MP3 Conversion Workflow – Auto Upload and Delivery with Simular Pro
This Simular workflow automates the full pipeline of converting YouTube videos to MP3 audio files using a public conversion site. It handles everything — from URL input to file download, cloud upload, and link sharing — with transparent, repeatable browser-native scripting.
How It Works
1. Input Collection
The user provides a list of YouTube video URLs, either manually or via a connected source like a spreadsheet or database.
2. Tab Navigation and Conversion Initiation
Simular opens a new browser tab and navigates to a YouTube-to-MP3 conversion site. It pastes the URL, triggers the conversion, and waits for the download link to become available.
3. File Download
Once the MP3 file is ready, Simular downloads the file to a local or cloud-connected directory.
4. Google Drive Upload
Simular then opens a new tab, navigates to Google Drive, and uploads the file. It waits for confirmation before proceeding.
5. Share Link Generation
Permissions are updated to make the uploaded file shareable via link.
6. Output Delivery
The final link is either written back to the source (e.g. spreadsheet) or emailed directly to the user.
7. Looping and Tab Cleanup
Each file is processed in its own tab, which is closed after completion to prevent overload. The workflow iterates through all URLs in the list.
