Start subtitles from your video-ready status
Once a video is ready in Notion, start its subtitle job without having to open a second workflow by hand.
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
Create Subtitle
Tool to generate subtitles for a video file by creating a transcription with the is_subtitle flag. Use after confirming the media URL is publicly accessible and valid.
Why this helps
Captions are often remembered late because they are a separate task from marking a video ready.
- Makes subtitle preparation part of the ready-to-publish routine.
- Keeps video launch work moving from a single tracker.
- Reduces last-minute context switching.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Notion and Happy Scribe to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation with one plain-language instruction to create subtitles when a video is marked ready, using its valid public media URL.
- 3Choose the Notion Page Properties Updated trigger for the video data source.
- 4Choose a run-report channel and test by marking one real video ready.
Questions about this workflow
Can I use a readiness property as the cue?
Yes. Explain the ready condition in your prompt and select the Page Properties Updated trigger for the video data source.
Will it create subtitles for videos without links?
Happy Scribe needs a valid, publicly accessible media URL. Ensure the video entry refers to one.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Notion to Happy scribe. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Notion triggers
Happy scribe actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Create Subtitle
Tool to generate subtitles for a video file by creating a transcription with the is_subtitle flag. Use after confirming the media URL is publicly accessible and valid.
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Create Transcription
Tool to initiate a new transcription job using a publicly accessible or signed URL. Use when you have uploaded a media file and want to start transcription immediately.
All Page Events
Triggers when any Notion page is created or updated across the workspace.
Create Translation Task
Tool to create a translation task for a transcription (deprecated). Use after transcription is complete to request translation.
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.
Delete Transcription
Tool to delete a transcription job. Use when you have a transcription ID and want to remove it, optionally permanently. Use after confirming the transcription ID.
New Comment
Triggers when a new comment is added to a specified Notion block or page.
Delete Webhook
Tool to delete a specific webhook. Use when you need to remove a webhook after confirming its identifier.
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.
Export Subtitle
Tool to export subtitle in the requested format. Use after transcription is completed.
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.
Get Account Details
Tool to retrieve details about your account, including subscription status and usage statistics. Use after authenticating your API key to monitor plan and usage.
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.
Get Supported Languages
Tool to retrieve supported language codes and names. Use when you need the list of valid languages for transcription or subtitle services.
