Why this helps

When someone shares a recording in a discussion, finding the right transcription option can become a separate task.

  • Retrieves the current service list and pricing on a discussion event.
  • Keeps the review close to the conversation that may prompt transcription.
  • Does not order media or presume a link exists.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Canvas and Castingwords once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis what outcome you want in plain language from any channel.
  • 3In one instruction, ask Notis to retrieve available Castingwords services and pricing when a new discussion message arrives.
  • 4Pick New Canvas Discussion Message as the trigger and choose where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real discussion message and review the returned service options.

Questions about this workflow

Will it identify which service is best for the recording?

No. It retrieves available services and pricing. Choosing a service depends on your needs and the returned details.

Does the message need to contain a media URL?

No. The service list action does not require a media URL, though an order does.
