Give incoming documents a clear place to go
Send document intake to Notis and create a named Drive folder that makes the next review step easier to find.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Create File or Folder
Creates a new file or folder with metadata. use to create empty files or folders, or files with content by providing it in the request body (though this action primarily focuses on metadata creation).
Why this helps
Incoming documents often arrive without a clear destination, adding extra sorting work before review can begin.
- Give each intake a predictable place for follow-up.
- Use document details to make folder names more informative.
- Reduce the time spent deciding where new documents belong.
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 routing.
- 3Tell Notis to identify the incoming document type with Affinda and create a Google Drive folder using an informative name for review.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real document and confirm the folder name makes sense.
Questions about this workflow
Does this workflow move or upload the source document?
No. It creates a folder based on the document analysis. Add a separate instruction or workflow if your intake process also needs a supported upload or move action.
What if the document type is unclear?
Tell Notis how to name the folder when Affinda cannot confidently identify the type, such as using a general review label.
