Why this helps
Transcription orders go through without checking balance, burning through prepay funds faster than intended.
- Prevent over-spending on transcription
- Intelligent ordering based on available funds
- Alert when balance too low to order
- Control transcription costs predictably
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 11. Connect Linear and Castingwords to Notis
- 22. Create automation: 'Before ordering a transcript, check if there's enough prepay balance'
- 33. Select Issue Created as the trigger
- 44. In the automation prompt, set your minimum balance threshold
- 55. Test by creating an issue and verifying balance check runs first
Questions about this workflow
What happens if balance is too low?
Notis alerts you instead of ordering. You can top up balance and retry, or skip that issue.
Can I set different thresholds for different issue types?
Yes. Create multiple automations--e.g., require higher balance for rush orders than standard.
Does this delay transcription orders?
Minimal delay (seconds). The balance check happens immediately before ordering.
