Add Uploaded Video to Notion

https://www.youtube.com/embed/Egz6kDCDfco You shouldn't have to ask your VA, “Hey, did that video get uploaded last week?” Managing content should not be a scavenger hunt across Google Drive, your inbox, and Notion. This automation solves that problem with 3 tools and 4 easy steps: ? Google Drive as the trigger ? Cast Magic for transcription + generating assets ? Notion to track and update content status Here’s how it works:

  • You drop a file into a specific Google Drive folder.
  • That automatically uploads the file to Cast Magic (which pulls the transcript, title ideas, descriptions, social posts—all the goodies).
  • Then the automation searches your Notion database. As long as your Google Drive filename matches a filename in the database, it updates that entry to “Edited” or “Ready for Scheduling.”
  • When something’s marked “Ready for Scheduling” in Notion, my VA gets an email. She never needs to guess. I don’t need to ask.

Now, when I make a video, that’s all I focus on—making the video. The rest just… happens. A little complicated? Maybe. A massive time-saver? Absolutely. Try Notion if you haven't: https://joec.pro/notion Hey, I'm Joe Casabona. ? I talk a lot about automations and systems.

    Who is iPhone 13 Pro Really For?

    The story Apple has been telling about iPhone 13 Pro is that it’s for movie makers and cinematographers. That’s a fun story. It might even work. But that’s not who iPhone 13 Pro is actually for. That’s just the story. That’s why they call it “Pro.”

  • How Often do my Zaps Run?

    Timing is the unsung hero of automation. A lot of people talk about triggers, actions, and conditions—but there's a fourth component that gets overlooked: WHEN the automation runs.
