Keep video descriptions current in Amara
A scheduled comparison can catch description changes that were never carried from the content source into the subtitle workspace.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Update Video
Update an existing video’s metadata and project assignment.
Why this helps
Description edits often happen after a video is created. Without a follow-up, Amara can keep context that no longer matches the published content.
- Catch description differences without manual spot checks.
- Keep subtitle collaborators informed by current context.
- Use the CMS as the source for available video descriptions.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Agility CMS and Amara once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to compare available Agility video descriptions with matching Amara records and update descriptions only when the source differs.
- 4Pick a recurring schedule and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real entry whose description is known to differ and check the Amara result.
Questions about this workflow
Does this compare every field on the video?
No. The instruction focuses on descriptions. Other fields should only be included if the source provides them and the workflow explicitly calls for them.
What if the video match is uncertain?
Ask Notis to report uncertain matches for review instead of updating a possibly incorrect Amara record.
