Find past environmental notes before starting a new review
Send a location through a webhook and have Notis search Drive for matching environmental notes to bring useful context forward.
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
Past reports can be difficult to find when filenames and folders vary across requests.
- Surface related Drive files without a manual folder hunt.
- Bring previous notes into the context of a new request.
- Avoid implying that search results are complete when naming differs.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Ambee and Google Drive once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation named Find Location Environment Records.
- 3Tell Notis to search Drive for environmental notes matching the webhook's location and summarize the best matches with file names and links.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with a location that has at least one known Drive note.
Questions about this workflow
Does this search every possible variation of a location name?
The search can use the terms in your instruction and request. It may miss files that use different names or are not accessible.
Does the search create a new report?
This workflow searches existing Drive files and prepares a summary. It does not create a new report.
