- Search relevant Drive materials from an on-demand request.
- Keep institutional knowledge useful across research sessions.

- 1Connect Ahrefs and Google Drive once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a clear name.
- 3Tell Notis to search Drive for existing notes matching the specified site or prospect and summarize relevant prior findings.
- 4Pick a webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with a prospect that has a known note in Drive.
Questions about this workflow
Does this workflow search Ahrefs too?
This workflow uses Google Drive search to find prior notes. Include the prospect details in the request so Notis can search the right materials.
What if there are no matching notes?
Ask Notis to say clearly that it found no relevant Drive documents, so the result does not imply that prior research exists.
