ElevenLabs Text To Speech

Overview

The ElevenLabs Text To Speech workflow action allows you to instantly convert written text into lifelike voice recordings. Powered by ElevenLabs’ AI voice engine, this action helps teams add warmth and personality to automated LinkedIn messages, enabling authentic, voice-based outreach directly within CRM workflows.

Use it to create human-sounding voice messages that can be attached and delivered through LinkedIn chat.

How It Works

  1. Add the Action
    Insert the ElevenLabs Text To Speech action into any workflow.
  2. Enter Your Message
    In the Message field, provide the text you want to be spoken.
    Example:
    {{chatgpt.1.response}} – uses a response from a previous AI action in your workflow.
  3. Select a Voice
    Enter the Voice ID from your ElevenLabs dashboard to choose a specific voice style.
  4. Choose a Model
    Select the Model ID (for example, eleven_v3) to define which ElevenLabs model to use for voice generation.
  5. Generate and Use
    The action produces a downloadable audio file URL. Attach this file to a Send a Message action to deliver the recording via LinkedIn chat.

Action Inputs

  • Message: The text you want converted into speech. Supports dynamic variables, such as {{chatgpt.1.response}}.
  • Voice ID: The voice identifier from your ElevenLabs dashboard that determines the voice style used.
  • Model ID: The ElevenLabs model used for generation (for example, eleven_v3).

All three fields are required for the action to run successfully.

Returned Variables

This action returns the following data after generation:

  • Audio File URL: The direct URL to the generated MP3 file.
  • File Size: The size of the generated file in bytes.
  • Duration: The total length of the audio in seconds.

  1. Action 1: Generate personalized outreach text using ChatGPT.

This creates an automated yet personal follow-up message that sounds natural and engaging.
