- Plan transcription spending in advance
- Reduce admin headache of manual checking

- 22. Create automation: 'Check my Castingwords prepay balance every morning'
- 33. Select Cron/Schedule as the trigger type and set to daily
- 44. Choose your alert channel (Slack, email, etc.)
- 55. Test by running the automation manually to see your current balance
Questions about this workflow
How often should I check balance?
Daily works for most teams. Adjust to weekly or multiple times daily if you have high transcription volume.
What balance threshold should trigger an alert?
Specify in your automation prompt. Common: alert if balance drops below $50 or 10 remaining credits.
Can I set up alerts at different times of day?
Yes. Create multiple automations for different times--e.g., morning check and evening check.
