Create a separate planning version of the research brief while keeping the original intact.

Trigger

Action

Copy file

Duplicates an existing file in google drive, identified by its `file id`.

Why this helps

Teams may want to annotate or adapt a research brief for a new cycle without changing the reference document.

  • Keep a source brief intact while making a separate copy.
  • Give each planning cycle its own working document.
  • Reduce manual duplication and naming work.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 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 find the specified source keyword brief in Drive and create a copy with your preferred cycle naming convention.
  • 4Pick a recurring schedule, then choose where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real source brief and check the copied file name and location.

Questions about this workflow

Does the copy include the original content?

The Drive copy action duplicates an existing file. Verify the result in Drive and use a clear criterion to identify the intended source.

Can the original be updated instead?

This workflow creates a separate copy. If you want to overwrite content, choose a different Drive action and be explicit about the desired outcome.
