Preserve a working copy when a request arrives
When a request signals a review or handoff, have Notis copy the specified Drive file for the next step.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Copy file
Duplicates an existing file in google drive, identified by its `file id`.
Why this helps
Teams can lose a useful point-in-time version when review work begins on the only working copy.
- Create a separate copy for review or handoff.
- Preserve a working version before a change process begins.
- Reduce manual file duplication steps.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Apiverve and Google Drive once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or tell Notis from any channel to create one.
- 3Describe the outcome in one instruction, including which file to copy and how to name the copy.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real request and a file suitable for copying.
Questions about this workflow
What does the workflow copy?
It copies an existing Google Drive file identified by its file ID. Supply the ID or enough context for Notis to find it.
Can it copy every file returned by an API?
Your instruction can define which supplied files to copy, but the request must provide the relevant identifiers and selection criteria.
