Give each important trade alert a home in Drive
Create a dedicated folder from an incoming alert so related research and notes have a predictable place to go.
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
Research and follow-up for an important alert can end up spread across folders with inconsistent names.
- Create a predictable place for alert materials.
- Use a consistent naming approach.
- Spend less time organizing files by hand.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Alpaca and Google Drive once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation or tell Notis the outcome in plain language.
- 3In one instruction, describe how to name a folder from the incoming request.
- 4Select the webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real alert payload and review the folder name.
Questions about this workflow
Can the folder name use alert details?
Yes, if the needed details are included in the webhook request.
Can the action create the research files too?
This workflow creates a folder. Add a separate automation if you want to create or save documents in it.
