Put trade review prompts beside the relevant Drive file
Send a trade event with a file reference and review context, and have Notis add a focused comment where the work already lives.

Action
Create Comment

Why this helps
Follow-up questions get lost when they live in a separate chat instead of beside the trade document.
- Keep review prompts attached to the relevant document.
- Make follow-up easier to find.
- Reduce switching between trading and note taking.

- 1Connect Alpaca and Google Drive once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation from Automations or tell Notis what outcome you want.
- 3In one instruction, explain what comment to add using the webhook details and referenced file.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and select a run report destination.
- 5Test with a real request that includes an accessible Drive file reference.
Questions about this workflow
Does the webhook need to identify a Drive file?
Yes. The comment action needs a specific file. Include a usable file reference in the request or provide it in your instruction.
Can it comment on every trade automatically?
It can comment when each webhook request contains the needed file reference and comment context.
