Make a working copy of shared project references
When a project needs its own editable starting point, have Notis copy the reference file you specify.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Copy file
Duplicates an existing file in google drive, identified by its `file id`.
Why this helps
Teams can accidentally edit a shared source file or forget to make a project-specific working copy.
- Keep shared source materials intact while starting project work.
- Reduce the manual setup step for a known reference document.
- Use chat context to identify which project needs a copy.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect 2chat and Google Drive once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or tell Notis from any channel to create one.
- 3Ask Notis in one instruction to review recent chats for the named project and copy the specified Drive file only when the request is explicit.
- 4Choose a recurring schedule and where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real project and verify the copy and its location.
Questions about this workflow
Does it choose a source file automatically?
Provide the source file ID or a clear identification rule in your instruction. Notis should skip the copy if it cannot identify the intended source.
Can this copy a file into a project folder?
The copy action duplicates a file by its ID. Specify the intended location if supported by the action setup, and confirm it during the test.
