Turn an Asana transcription request into an order
When someone asks for a transcript in a task discussion and shares the media URL, Notis can place the order without a separate queue reminder.
Trigger
New Comment on Task
Triggers when a comment is added to a task in a project.
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
A request buried in task comments can be easy to miss, especially when placing the transcription order requires another app and another handoff.
- Catch transcription requests where the discussion already happens.
- Cut the step of copying a media URL into a separate order workflow.
- Make the order dependent on a clear request and accessible source URL.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Asana and CastingWords once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or tell Notis in plain language from any channel.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to order a transcript only when a task comment requests transcription and contains an accessible media URL.
- 4Pick Asana's New Comment on Task trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real task comment that includes a clear request and accessible URL.
Questions about this workflow
Can it tell a request from an ordinary comment?
Describe the request language Notis should treat as an instruction. The trigger fires for new comments, and Notis can analyze data returned by the event.
Can the comment contain a file attachment instead of a URL?
The Order Transcript action is described as ordering media at a URL. Use an accessible media URL in the comment; attachment upload is not part of this action.
