Why this helps
Research is less useful when the folder holding related notes and documents is hard to locate.
- Find an existing folder using research context.
- Reduce manual Drive browsing.
- Keep related research work connected.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Agenty and Google Drive once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, then New Automation, and name the folder locator.
- 3Tell Notis to use the Agenty run topic or project name to find the matching Drive folder and report the result.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with one real run whose project or topic has a known folder.
Questions about this workflow
Does this create a folder if none exists?
No. This action finds a folder by name and optional parent. Use a folder creation action for a separate workflow that should create one.
What happens if multiple folders match?
Instruct Notis to report the possible matches and ask for a clear naming convention if selection needs to be more reliable.
