Create a Drive folder for each new client intake
Submit a client intake brief and have Notis use Aryn to identify the client name before creating a clearly named Drive folder.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Create File or Folder
Creates a new file or folder with metadata. use to create empty files or folders, or files with content by providing it in the request body (though this action primarily focuses on metadata creation).
Why this helps
Setting up a client workspace by hand adds small steps that can delay getting started.
- Create a consistent starting place for client files.
- Use the client name present in the submitted brief.
- Keep the automation report available to confirm the result.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Aryn and Google Drive once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3Tell Notis to use Aryn to identify the client or organization name in the submitted intake brief and create a Google Drive folder with that name; if the name is unclear, report the issue for review.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real intake brief and confirm the folder name.
Questions about this workflow
Can it create the folder inside a specific parent folder?
Include the exact existing parent folder name in your instruction and ensure it can be found in Drive.
What happens if the client name is unclear?
The instruction should ask Notis to report the ambiguity rather than create a folder with a guessed name.
