Turn new Drive recordings into transcription orders
Drop a recording into Drive and let Castingwords take it from there. Notis starts the order as soon as the file is created.
Trigger
File Created
Triggers when a new file is created in Google Drive.
Action
Order Transcript
Tool to create a new transcription order for audio/video at a url. use when you have an accessible media url and need to initiate transcription.
Why this helps
A recording lands in Drive, then gets forgotten while you switch tabs to start a transcription order.
- Start transcription orders without copying links between apps.
- Keep new recordings moving into the transcription queue.
- Reduce the chance that interviews or meetings sit unprocessed.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 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 order a Castingwords transcript for each new Drive audio or video file using its accessible URL.
- 4Pick the Google Drive File Created trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real recording and review the run report.
Questions about this workflow
Does this work for every file created in Drive?
The trigger fires for new Drive files. In your instruction, specify that Notis should order only audio or video recordings and skip other files.
What does Castingwords need to start an order?
The action orders media at a URL. The file must have an accessible media URL that Castingwords can use.
Will this fetch the finished transcript too?
No. This workflow starts the transcription order. Fetching a finalized transcript is not among the listed Castingwords actions.

Recurring trigger

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.
Register Webhook

Triggers when a file's metadata or content changes in Google Drive.
