Request Transcript Upgrades from a Calendar Update
When you update an event with a clear transcript enhancement request, Notis can send the upgrade request to CastingWords using the file ID you provide.
Trigger
Event Updated
Triggers when an existing Google Calendar event is modified. Returns the event ID, change type, and the specific fields that changed with their previous and new values.
Action
Order Upgrades
Tool to order an upgrade for a specific audio file. use after transcription is complete to add items like timestamps or extra editing. example: 'order timestamps for file 12345'.
Why this helps
Adding timestamps or extra editing can fall off the list when the request, calendar entry, and transcript file are tracked separately.
- Turn a calendar update into a transcript enhancement request
- Keep the requested upgrade tied to the event context
- Reduce the chance that transcript finishing work gets dropped
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Calendar and CastingWords once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a clear name.
- 3Tell Notis to order only the explicitly requested CastingWords upgrade, using the supplied file ID and upgrade details.
- 4Pick Event Updated as the trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real event update that includes a completed CastingWords file ID and a specific upgrade request.
Questions about this workflow
Can the calendar update supply a CastingWords file ID automatically?
The event update provides the event ID, change type, and changed fields. Include the CastingWords file ID in the event information or request because the trigger does not promise to provide it.
What upgrades can this order?
The action orders an upgrade for a specific audio file, such as timestamps or extra editing. State the requested upgrade and provide the completed file's ID.
Can this workflow create a new transcription order?
No. This workflow uses the upgrade action for a specific file after transcription is complete.
