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

A transcript request stalls because the account balance was never checked after launch.

  • Surfaces available funds at the right moment
  • Prevents avoidable order delays
  • Gives the team one concise report

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Mailchimp and Castingwords in Notis once.
  • 2Create an automation named Campaign prepay balance check.
  • 3Tell Notis to retrieve the current Castingwords prepay balance after each campaign send and flag whether it appears sufficient for the planned transcript.
  • 4Pick the Mailchimp Campaign Trigger and choose a report channel.
  • 5Test with one real campaign send.

Questions about this workflow
