Start a project folder from a request
Send a project request to a Notis webhook and have Notis create a matching folder in Google Drive.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
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
New projects often begin with a scramble to make a folder and decide where files belong.
- Give new projects a consistent Drive home.
- Reduce setup steps after an approved request.
- Keep folder creation tied to an intentional request event.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Drive once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation from Automations, New Automation, and name it.
- 3Tell Notis to create a Drive folder using the project name and any supplied context, avoiding duplicates when it can identify an existing folder.
- 4Select the webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Send one real example request and verify the created folder.
Questions about this workflow
What starts this automation?
An HTTP request to its Notis webhook starts it.
Can it create subfolders too?
You can ask for additional folders in the instruction, but keep the requested structure explicit and test it with a real request.
