Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
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
Monthly reporting starts with folder hunting and inconsistent names, before the analysis even begins.
- Prepare a consistent place for each reporting period
- Keep monthly materials grouped in Drive
- Avoid repeated manual folder setup
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Alchemy and Google Drive once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation named Monthly Alchemy Report Folder.
- 3Tell Notis: Create a Google Drive folder named for the current month and year for Alchemy reports, and report if a matching folder already exists.
- 4Choose a recurring monthly schedule as the trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real run and confirm the folder is created in the intended Drive location.
Questions about this workflow
Does the folder include an Alchemy activity report?
No. This workflow creates the folder only. A report needs to be created in a separate workflow using available Alchemy data.
What if the folder already exists?
The automation should report the existing-folder condition rather than creating confusing duplicates where possible.
