I've been bugging Descript support about this since early 2023 when it broke. No idea why it's taking them so long to fix this.

From what I've observed there are currently two issues. One has to do with Descript blindly accepting the Google Drive categorizations of files such that .m4a files are incorrectly treated as video. I created an issue about this in the Zapier community forum over here:

The second issue occurs when trying to copy Descript transcripts to Google Drive. In those cases, I get an error like:

Failed to create a create file from text in Google Drive

While requesting "dev_method" from Descript we ran into an error: You passed {raw: true} in request() - the response.content property is not available! Try response.body.pipe() for streaming, response.buffer() for a buffer, or response.text() for string.

Zapier did a deep dive on the second issue and provided the following information:

"Upon further investigation, we realized that the Descript team is using an older version of the Zapier platform since the newer ones handle that edge case correctly.

The solution here would be for the Descript team to upgrade their Zapier platform to prevent this from happening again. We send comms every time that's necessary, but you could also ping them, taking advantage of the communication channel you've already established with them."
