Action

Why this helps
Work can stall when a team assumes a project folder exists but nobody has checked where it is.
- Check expected folder locations routinely.
- See missing or misplaced folder names in a run report.
- Reduce time lost to searching before work begins.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Apiframe and Google Drive once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations and give it a clear name.
- 3Tell Notis which project folder names and optional parent folders to check, and ask it to report the results.
- 4Choose the recurring schedule trigger and set the review cadence.
- 5Choose a report channel, then test with one real folder name.
Questions about this workflow
Can the folder lookup create a missing folder?
This workflow only looks up folders and reports results. Creating a folder would need a separate automation using the Drive folder creation action.
What if two folders share a name?
Include the parent folder in your criteria where possible, since the lookup supports a folder name and optional parent.
