Move and convert audio files recorded to a folder

I am using the Voice Recorder app on my Note 4. It records .m4a audio files. I would like Automagic to watch for the creation of these files in a certain folder. When a file is created (say, "Voicefile1.m4a") I would like to do the following:
1) convert the file to .mp3 format - "Voicefile1.mp3") and
2) save that new file to a folder in Google Drive

If both steps are not possible, I would still like to learn how to accomplish either step that is possible.

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide!

Hi,

Automagic has no built-in action to convert audio files.

You can use trigger File Observer (event Writable file closed should work) to see when the app finished writing the the audio file and then use action Google Drive Upload Files to upload the audio file.
