Create a Drive folder when a project begins
Send a project kickoff request and make its Drive home part of the same workflow.
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 work starts in messages, but the shared folder often gets created later or forgotten.
- Give new projects a clear Drive home promptly.
- Reduce setup steps after a kickoff request.
- Keep folder naming aligned with the request.
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 to interpret the incoming project request and create a suitably named Drive folder in the intended parent folder.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real project request and verify the created folder.
Questions about this workflow
Can the folder be nested?
Yes. Specify a parent folder. The action can use a parent folder id or name, and creation fails if a provided parent name is not found.
Does this create project documents too?
This workflow creates a folder. Add a separately described document creation step only if your setup supports it.
How does it start?
An HTTP request to the Notis webhook starts it.
