Give each research initiative a place in Drive
Send the initiative name and topic. Notis uses AgentQL to clarify relevant public sources and creates a dedicated folder in Google Drive.
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
New research often starts across browser tabs before anyone creates a reliable place to keep the work.
- Create a consistent Drive home for each initiative.
- Start a research task from an HTTP request.
- Use AgentQL to ground the folder context in relevant public pages.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect AgentQL and Google Drive once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it for research kickoffs.
- 3In one instruction, provide the initiative name and topic, ask Notis to review relevant supplied pages, and create a clearly named Drive folder.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real initiative request and confirm the folder appears in Drive.
Questions about this workflow
Does creating the folder also save research documents?
This workflow creates the folder. Ask Notis to save a research brief as well if you want a document created as part of the instruction.
What if a folder with that name already exists?
The instruction can ask Notis to look for an existing folder first and use it when appropriate.
