Start a reservation case from a ready-made Drive document
When a case begins, send its reference to Notis and copy the appropriate existing Google Drive document for team use.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Copy file
Duplicates an existing file in google drive, identified by its `file id`.
Why this helps
Starting each case from scratch adds repetitive setup and risks edits to a shared template.
- Start from an existing document quickly.
- Keep the source document available as a template.
- Give each case a separate working copy.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Apaleo and Google Drive once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3Tell Notis which existing Google Drive file to copy and how to identify the reservation case from the webhook.
- 4Choose a webhook trigger and where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real file and confirm the copy is the intended document.
Questions about this workflow
Does this create a document from Apaleo content?
No. It copies an existing Google Drive file. Specify the source file and any naming context in your instruction.
Can the copy include reservation details?
The copy action duplicates a file. It does not by itself insert Apaleo reservation details into the copy.
