Give each reporting period its own folder

Start each reporting period with a predictable place for campaign reports.

Trigger

Recurring schedule

Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.

Action

Create a folder

Creates a new folder in google drive, optionally within a parent folder specified by its id or name; if a parent name is provided but not found, the action will fail.

Why this helps

Reports are harder to find when every period's documents land in the same crowded folder.

  • Keep reporting periods separated.
  • Make new report locations predictable.
  • Reduce time spent organizing campaign documents.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Google Drive once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, then choose New Automation and name it.
  • 3Tell Notis to create a Google Drive folder named for the current campaign reporting period inside your chosen parent folder.
  • 4Choose a recurring schedule and select where run reports should go.
  • 5Test once and confirm the new folder is in the intended parent folder.

Questions about this workflow

Does this summarize ActiveTrail results?

This workflow creates the reporting folder. Add a separate report instruction if you also want campaign analysis saved there.

What if the parent folder cannot be found?

Provide the exact parent folder name or use its known folder context in your instruction.
