Keep a recurring PDF current in Drive
Set a schedule to regenerate a known document and refresh its Drive file content.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Edit File
Updates an existing google drive file by overwriting its entire content with new text (max 10mb).
Why this helps
Recurring reports and reference documents become stale when nobody remembers to regenerate and replace them.
- Refresh a recurring PDF on a chosen schedule.
- Keep a designated Drive file current.
- Reduce manual document replacement.
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 convert the latest supplied HTML with Api2pdf and overwrite the designated Drive file with the new PDF content.
- 4Choose a recurring schedule and report channel, then test with one real HTML input and Drive file.
