Bring Amara subtitle file links into Slack
Make subtitle assets easier to find by adding eligible Amara file links to Slack on a schedule.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Add a remote file
Adds a reference to an external file (e.g., google drive, dropbox) to slack for discovery and sharing, requiring a unique `external id` and an `external url` accessible by slack.
Why this helps
Subtitle files can be hard to locate when teams have to search through video projects for the right link.
- Make eligible subtitle files discoverable in Slack.
- Reduce repeated searches through Amara projects.
- Keep file references connected to their accessible URLs.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Amara and Slack once in Notis.
- 2Create an automation in Notis and name it for subtitle file discovery.
- 3Tell Notis to find subtitle files in Amara projects and add each new file to Slack when it has a unique identifier and a URL Slack can access.
- 4Choose a recurring schedule and where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real subtitle file and confirm Slack can access its URL.
