Keep upcoming document dates visible
Have a scheduled run organize the dates present in your supplied document information into a Drive review list.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Create a File from Text
Creates a new file in google drive from provided text content (up to 10mb), supporting various formats including automatic conversion to google workspace types.
Why this helps
Renewal and review dates can slip when they are noted in documents but not gathered in one place.
- Gather stated dates into one review document.
- Show which source documents contain each date.
- Flag missing dates rather than filling them in.
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 the document and date information available in the run context to list upcoming stated dates with source names, and create a dated review document in Drive; flag missing context instead of implying a complete scan.
- 4Choose a recurring schedule trigger and where run reports should go.
- 5Test with real document date information and confirm the listed dates and sources.
Questions about this workflow
Will this scan all of Drive on its own?
The available trigger list does not include a Drive scan event. The run needs access to document and date information, or it should report that the information was unavailable.
Will it remind people about the dates?
It creates a review document. Add an explicit supported notification step only if your Notis setup provides one.
