Turn a transcription request into action

When someone comments that a recording is ready for transcription, Notis can take the next step and submit its accessible media URL.

Trigger

Comment Created

Triggers when a new comment is created in Notion. Optional `page_id` filter scopes to comments on a specific page. When omitted, fires for any new comment in the workspace the integration has access to. Requires the 'Read comments' capability on the Notion integration. If a connection was authorized before that capability was enabled, the user must re-authorize the connection for comment events to flow.

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

Requests left in comments are easy to miss among page discussions and competing work.

  • Turns a written request into a concrete transcription handoff.
  • Cuts down on checking comments for pending audio work.
  • Keeps the request close to the page being discussed.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Notion and CastingWords to Notis once through the portal.
  • 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis to act on transcription-request comments.
  • 3Write one plain-language instruction to order the recording when a new comment clearly requests transcription and an accessible media URL is available.
  • 4Select Comment Created and choose a channel for run reports.
  • 5Test with one real comment on a page that provides an accessible recording URL.

Questions about this workflow

Will every comment submit audio?

The prompt should make clear that only comments requesting transcription qualify, and that an accessible media URL must be available.

Does this require comment access?

Yes. Notion comment events require the integration's Read comments capability, and a previously authorized connection may need reauthorization after enabling it.

Supported Triggers and Actions

Notis builds workflows that link Notion to Castingwords. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.

Notion triggers

Castingwords actions

Recurring trigger

Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.

TriggerScheduled

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).

Triggers when any Notion page is created or updated across the workspace.

TriggerPolling

Get registered webhook URL

Tool to retrieve the currently registered webhook url for account notifications. use when you need to verify your webhook setup.

Comment Created

Triggers when a new comment is created in Notion. Optional `page_id` filter scopes to comments on a specific page. When omitted, fires for any new comment in the workspace the integration has access to. Requires the 'Read comments' capability on the Notion integration. If a connection was authorized before that capability was enabled, the user must re-authorize the connection for comment events to flow.

TriggerInstant

TriggerPolling

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'.

ActionInstant

Database Created

Triggers when a new Notion database (the container) is created. A database is the post-2025-09-03 container that holds one or more data sources. This trigger fires for the container's creation event (`database.created`), distinct from `NOTION_DATASOURCE_CREATED` which fires when a new data source is added to an existing database. Most customers calling Notion's `POST /v1/databases` (the legacy API) or creating a database via the Notion UI will see this event. Adding a new data source to an existing database fires `data_source.created` instead — use `NOTION_DATASOURCE_CREATED` for that. Notion's payload puts `entity.type: "block"` (the container is a `child_database` block in the content tree) and `entity.id` is the database id.

TriggerInstant

Register Webhook

Tool to register a webhook url to receive transcript completion notifications. use when you want castingwords to post transcript-complete events to your service endpoint.

ActionInstant

Data Source Created

Triggers when a new Notion data source is created. Fires workspace-wide. The payload's `data.parent` carries the data source's tree parent (typically the teamspace) for downstream filtering. A single template-based database creation can fire multiple `data_source.created` events at once — one per data source the template instantiates.

TriggerInstant

List Available SKUs

Tool to retrieve list of available skus. use when you need to know available services and pricing before placing an order.

ActionInstant

Data Source Schema Updated

Triggers when a Notion data source's schema is updated. Fires on column add / remove / rename. Payload includes `data.updated_properties: [{id, name, action}]` so consumers can discriminate the kind of change downstream. Optional `data_source_id` filter scopes to schema changes on a single data source. When omitted, fires for any schema change in the workspace the integration has access to. Note: adding a column also fires `page.properties_updated` once per existing row in the data source. Customers wanting a single structural-change signal should use this trigger.

TriggerInstant

Test Webhook Call

Tool to request a test webhook call for a specific event type. use after registering a webhook url to ensure webhook notifications are functioning properly.

ActionInstant

Connect any two apps with Notis in the middle.

Notion and Castingwords, or any other combination from 1,000+ integrations.
