Prepare lesson audio transcripts without another handoff
When lesson audio is ready in your Notion production tracker, Notis can submit it to CastingWords for transcription.
Trigger
Page Properties Updated
Triggers when properties of a Notion page are updated. Customer optionally scopes with at most one of: - data_source_id: any row in this data source - page_id: this specific page - parent_page_id: any page whose immediate parent is this page With none set, fires for any property change in the workspace the integration has access to. Adding a column to a data source fires this trigger once per existing row. Customers can branch on `data.updated_properties` (array of property IDs) to filter downstream.
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
Lesson transcripts fall behind when audio production and accessibility work live in separate queues.
- Moves lesson audio toward written learning materials.
- Keeps transcription connected to the lesson tracker.
- Lowers the mental load of tracking one more production handoff.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Notion and CastingWords to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation through the portal or ask Notis conversationally.
- 3Write one instruction to order a transcript when a lesson record is updated as ready and includes an accessible media URL.
- 4Choose Page Properties Updated for the lesson data source and select a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with a real lesson whose audio URL can be accessed.
Questions about this workflow
Can lesson transcripts be ordered individually?
Yes. The automation can respond to individual lesson record updates within the selected data source.
Will the transcript be added to the lesson page?
This action starts the order in CastingWords; it does not itself add the finished transcript to Notion.

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.
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).
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
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.
All Page Events
Triggers when any Notion page is created or updated across the workspace.
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.
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.
New Comment
Triggers when a new comment is added to a specified Notion block or page.
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'.
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.
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.
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.
List Available SKUs
Tool to retrieve list of available skus. use when you need to know available services and pricing before placing an order.
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.
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.
