Add Uploaded Video to Notion

Posted Updated

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.
