Create Amara language tracks when a request is filled
Fill in the localization brief once and let Notis open the right language track.
Trigger
Document Placeholder Filled
Triggers when a Google Doc's plain text changes such that a configured placeholder token/pattern is no longer present (i.e., the document has been filled in). This trigger monitors a specific Google Doc and fires when a placeholder pattern that was previously present is no longer found in the document's plain text.
Action
Create Subtitle Language
Tool to create a new subtitle language for a video. use when you need to add a language track (iso 639-1 code) before uploading subtitles.
Why this helps
Language requests get delayed when someone must manually create a subtitle track before work can begin.
- Start localization immediately after a brief is completed
- Use the requested ISO 639-1 language code
- Keep language creation tied to the source request
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Docs and Amara in Notis once.
- 2Create an automation named Create subtitle language.
- 3Tell Notis to read the filled document, identify the video id and ISO 639-1 language code, then create the language in Amara.
- 4Pick Document Placeholder Filled as the trigger and choose a report channel.
- 5Test with one completed localization request.
