Start a transcript from an Ably audio link

Pass a media URL to Notis and let Castingwords start the transcription order, without interrupting your current work.

Action

Order Transcript

Tool to create a new transcription order for audio/video at a url. use when you have an accessible media url and need to initiate transcription.

Why this helps

Audio links get buried in messages, then someone still has to open Castingwords and place the order.

  • Start transcription from an HTTP request carrying an accessible media URL.
  • Keep the handoff from an Ably-powered agent in one repeatable workflow.
  • Receive a Notis run report for the order attempt.

  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
  • 3Tell Notis to order a Castingwords transcript for the accessible media URL included in the request.
  • 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real media URL sent in an HTTP request.
