Create a dedicated Drive folder for candidate-related documents when your process calls for one.
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
Candidate materials end up scattered across shared folders and are difficult to gather quickly.
- Give candidate materials a predictable location.
- Reduce time spent creating folders by hand.
- Make folder naming consistent across the hiring process.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Ashby and Google Drive once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation and describe when and how to create a candidate folder.
- 3Tell Notis how to identify the candidate and what naming convention to use.
- 4Pick the Notis webhook trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real candidate example.
Questions about this workflow
Can the folder be placed under a parent folder?
Yes. Specify a parent folder that already exists and can be located in Drive.
What if the candidate is not identifiable?
Ask Notis to report the ambiguity instead of creating a folder with an uncertain name.
