Trigger

Action

Why this helps
Looking up live information and then formatting it into a document creates extra steps and makes useful findings easy to lose.
- Save lookup results in a consistent, readable format.
- Keep the request and its findings together for later reference.
- Reduce copying and formatting between tools.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect API Ninjas and Google Drive once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3Tell Notis to use the incoming request to fetch the requested API Ninjas data and save a concise brief in Drive.
- 4Pick a webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real lookup request.

What starts this automation?
An HTTP request to its Notis webhook starts the automation. API Ninjas does not provide a trigger event here.
What data will the brief contain?
