Handle transcript upgrades from direct messages

Private requests for a more navigable transcript can move forward while the file and request are still easy to identify.

Trigger

Direct Message Received

Triggered when a new direct message (DM) is sent to a user in Slack. Catches all DMs across all DM channels.

Action

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'.

Why this helps

A one-to-one request for transcript improvements can disappear beneath newer messages and urgent follow-ups.

  • Keep a specific DM request from becoming a forgotten follow-up.
  • Order timestamps for a completed transcript through CastingWords.
  • Handle file improvements in the same flow as the request.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Slack and CastingWords to Notis once through the portal.
  • 2Create a new automation and describe the completed-file upgrade outcome in a plain-language instruction.
  • 3Choose the Slack direct-message trigger and set the run-report channel.
  • 4Test with a real DM that clearly identifies a completed file and asks for timestamps.

Questions about this workflow

What if the message asks for a different upgrade?

The prompt should describe which upgrade this automation handles. The listed action orders upgrades for a specific audio file.

Does the workflow create a new transcript order?

No. It orders an upgrade for a specific file that is already complete.
