- Add a shortcut where the client team expects to find it.
- Avoid maintaining duplicate copies.

- 2Create an automation and name it.
- 3Tell Notis to generate and upload the PDF, then create a shortcut to it in the specified client folder.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and a report channel, then test with one real client request.
Questions about this workflow
Is the shortcut a second copy?
No. It links to the existing Drive item rather than duplicating the file.
