Give every document intake a searchable record
Capture what arrived and the details that matter in a consistent Drive record, without writing an intake summary from scratch.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Create a File from Text
Creates a new file in google drive from provided text content (up to 10mb), supporting various formats including automatic conversion to google workspace types.
Why this helps
Documents can be hard to find later when the reason they mattered was never recorded.
- Record key details that help identify a document later.
- Create a consistent intake record for supplied documents.
- Reduce manual note taking at the point of intake.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Affinda and Google Drive once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create a new automation and name it for document intake records.
- 3Tell Notis to extract identifying details from the supplied document and create a structured intake record as a Google Drive file.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real document and confirm the record is useful for later search.
