Trigger
Google Drive Changes
Triggers when changes are detected in a Google Drive.
Action
Get Prepay Balance
Tool to retrieve the current prepay balance for the account. use when you need to check available funds before placing new transcription orders.
Why this helps
It is easy to discover that transcription funds are low only after someone tries to place the next order.
- Make current available funds visible during a Drive workflow review.
- Avoid opening Castingwords just to check the balance.
- Support a human decision before placing new transcription orders.
Setup

- 1Connect Google Drive and Castingwords once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or tell Notis from any channel what outcome you want.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to retrieve the current Castingwords prepay balance and include it in the run report when the relevant Drive change occurs.
- 4Pick the Google Drive Changes trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real Drive change and review the run report.
Questions about this workflow
Does this automatically order more funds or transcripts?
No. It retrieves the current balance for review. The listed Castingwords actions do not include adding funds.
Will every Drive change run the balance check?
The Google Drive Changes trigger fires when changes are detected. Describe any relevant context in your instruction, and account for the trigger's broad scope.
Does the balance tell me what an order will cost?
No. It reports the current prepay balance. Use List Available SKUs to retrieve available services and pricing.

Order Transcript

File Deleted or Trashed

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'.
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.
