Create a review workspace from document type
Give each document a clear review workspace based on what it contains, so the next person knows where to begin.
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
Unlabeled documents create extra decisions and make shared review harder to coordinate.
- Start review with a workspace named for the document category.
- Reduce time spent manually deciding where documents belong.
- Make the review purpose clear to collaborators.
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 type workspaces.
- 3Tell Notis to identify the supplied document's type with Affinda and create a Google Drive folder named for the category and review purpose.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real document and adjust the naming instruction if needed.
Questions about this workflow
Will this create a new folder for every document?
It creates a folder when the automation runs. Specify your preferred naming convention and whether the folder should be general or document-specific.
Does it place the document inside the folder?
This workflow creates the folder only. The supported create action does not automatically upload or move the source document in this package.
