Start new work from a Drive template

Send the initiative details and let Notis create a fresh copy of the template you use to begin.

Trigger

Webhook received

Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.

Action

Copy file

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

Why this helps

Starting from a template takes extra searching and copying at the moment a new project needs attention.

  • Start consistently from an existing template.
  • Skip manually finding and copying the source file.
  • Create a working copy as part of project kickoff.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Ai ml api and Google Drive once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
  • 3Tell Notis which template to copy for the incoming work request and how to name the new copy.
  • 4Choose the webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real request and verify the copied file.

Questions about this workflow

Does this create a fresh copy of the template?

Yes. Copy file duplicates an existing file identified by its file id.

Can the copy go in a particular folder?

Specify the desired destination in the instruction. The copy action must receive the appropriate request details.

Can AI fill out the template too?

This action copies the file. Content generation or editing requires an available action and clear instructions for that additional work.
