Give Apilio device notes a clear home
When you begin documenting an Apilio device or system, have Notis create a named folder in Drive for its related notes.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Create a folder
Creates a new folder in google drive, optionally within a parent folder specified by its id or name; if a parent name is provided but not found, the action will fail.
Why this helps
Device documentation becomes harder to use when every note lands in an unrelated location.
- Give related notes a predictable home
- Make a new documentation effort easier to start
- Keep device records separate by subject
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Apilio and Google Drive once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it for device documentation folders.
- 3Tell Notis to create a Drive folder using the Apilio device or system name you provide.
- 4Pick the notis_webhook trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real device name and verify the folder in Drive.
Questions about this workflow
Will the workflow create a folder if a parent folder name is missing?
A parent folder must exist if you specify one by name; the Drive action can fail when that parent is not found.
Does this add device information to the folder?
No. This workflow creates the folder. A separate instruction or workflow can create documents inside it.
