Give every PDF deliverable a project home
Start with a project request and have Notis create its Drive folder and save the generated PDF there.
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
New project files are easy to lose when the folder does not exist yet or someone has to create it later.
- Create a dedicated folder for a new project.
- Keep the generated PDF with its related work.
- Avoid a separate folder setup task.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Api2pdf and Google Drive once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation and name it.
- 3Tell Notis to create a project folder, generate the requested PDF with Api2pdf, and save the PDF in that folder.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and a report channel, then test with one real project request.
Questions about this workflow
What information should the request include?
Include the project name and the source content or URL needed to generate the PDF.
What if a folder with that name exists?
State how Notis should handle an existing folder, then test that behavior with your Drive setup.
