Review subtitles when a Drive video changes
A revised video can make subtitle review easy to forget. Let Notis retrieve the Amara segments for the video and language you specify when its Drive file changes.
Trigger
File Updated
Triggers when a file's metadata or content changes in Google Drive.
Action
Fetch Subtitles Data
Tool to fetch subtitle data for a video in a specific language. use when you need to retrieve subtitle segments after confirming video id and language code.
Why this helps
Video revisions and subtitle review happen in different places, making it hard to remember which captions need another look.
- Bring subtitle segments into the review flow after a Drive file change.
- Reduce the need to remember a separate Amara check.
- Keep the video ID and subtitle language explicit in the instruction.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Drive and Amara once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create a new automation in Notis and name it for subtitle review.
- 3Tell Notis which Amara video ID and language code to use, and ask it to retrieve the subtitle segments when the Drive video file changes.
- 4Choose the Google Drive File Updated trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with a real updated video file and a known Amara video ID and language code.
Questions about this workflow
Can Notis infer the Amara video ID and language from Drive?
The listed Google Drive trigger does not promise those values. Supply a known Amara video ID and language code in your instruction or provide them through the workflow context.
Does this edit the subtitles?
No. Fetch Subtitles Data retrieves subtitle segments. Editing or changing subtitle content is not an available action in this event list.

Create Subtitle Language

Fetch Subtitles Data

Get Subtitle Language Details
Tool to retrieve details for a single subtitle language. use when you have video id and language code and need metadata about that language track.
File Deleted or Trashed

Get Team Details
Tool to get details on a specific team by slug. use when you need metadata for a single team.
File Shared (Permissions Added)
Triggers when new sharing permissions are granted to a file or folder. Uses Drive's `changes.list` endpoint with inline `permissions` in the `fields` mask so each change carries the file's current permission set provider-atomically. We diff that against `seen_permission_keys` to identify newly added grants. Drive page tokens are the primary cursor; if Drive rejects a stored token, the trigger raises `PollingTriggerError` without clearing state rather than silently re-baselining and dropping events. Limitation: truly ephemeral permissions (added and revoked between two polls without any other file modification in between) are not detected. Drive Activity API would catch those but requires an additional OAuth scope and a different payload contract.
Get User Data
Tool to get user data by username or id. use when you need to fetch account details for a user.
File Updated
