Cancel and refund a transcription job from an updated task
Mark the request cancelled in Google Tasks and let Notis handle the eligible refund action.
Trigger
Task Updated

Action
Cancel and Refund Audio File
Tool to cancel an ordered audio file and issue a refund if applicable. use when no transcription work has been done on the file (pre-processing, audio processing, error states).
Why this helps
Cancellation windows are missed when someone has to find the file in a separate transcription system.
- Acts quickly on cancellation requests
- Keeps cancellation decisions auditable
- Avoids paying for work no longer needed
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Tasks and CastingWords in Notis.
- 2Create an automation that cancels and requests a refund for the CastingWords file named in a task marked cancel, only when no transcription work has been done.
- 3Pick Task Updated as the trigger and choose a report channel.
- 4Test with a non production file reference or a clearly ineligible example.
Questions about this workflow
When is a refund possible?
CastingWords determines eligibility based on the file state and work already performed.
Can the automation cancel every changed task?
