Check Drive for an existing record first
Have Notis search for a likely matching Drive file using a parsed item's name, ID, or other identifier.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Find file
Tool to list or search for files and folders in google drive. use when you need to find specific files based on query criteria or list contents of a drive/folder.
Why this helps
Repeated submissions can lead to duplicate Drive records when nobody knows whether the same item was filed before.
- Check for an existing file before filing
- Use parsed identifiers to guide a Drive search
- Make repeat submissions easier to triage
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Airparser and Google Drive once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or from any Notis channel.
- 3Tell Notis to search Drive for files matching the parsed item's identifier and report the likely matches with their names and links.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real parsed item that has a known Drive match.
Questions about this workflow
Will this prevent duplicates automatically?
This workflow searches and reports likely matches. It does not create or delete files.
Which details should the search use?
Tell Notis to use identifiers present in the webhook, such as a document number or exact file name.
