Keep an eye on transcription funds
Get a regular balance check so available funds are easier to review before the next recording needs transcription.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Get Prepay Balance
Retrieves the current account prepay balance.
Why this helps
A transcription request can stall when nobody knows whether the account has enough prepay balance.
- Review the current balance on a recurring schedule.
- Keep a lightweight check alongside your IoT recording operations.
- Receive a run report in a chosen channel.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Adafruit IO and Castingwords once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
- 3In one instruction, tell Notis to retrieve the current Castingwords prepay balance and summarize it in the run report.
- 4Choose the recurring schedule trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Run one real example to confirm the reported balance is useful.
Questions about this workflow
Does this schedule place or pay for transcription orders?
No. It retrieves the current prepay balance for review; it does not place an order or add funds.
Can I set a low balance threshold?
You can ask Notis to compare the returned balance with a threshold you supply in the instruction. The workflow should not assume a threshold that you have not provided.
Does this workflow need an Adafruit IO event?
No. It uses the Notis recurring schedule trigger, since Adafruit IO exposes no trigger events for this pair.
