Give each new project a ready-to-use folder

Send a project request to Notis and create a Drive folder named from the details included in the request.

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

New work can start before anyone has created a shared place for project files.

  • Create a consistent home for project materials.
  • Cut the setup step between a request and getting started.
  • Use request details to make folders easier to recognize.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Backendless and Google Drive once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation named Project Folder Setup.
  • 3Tell Notis to create a Google Drive folder for each project request using the supplied project name.
  • 4Select the webhook trigger and choose where run reports go.
  • 5Test with one real project request.

Questions about this workflow

Can the folder be placed under an existing folder?

Yes, if you name an existing parent folder in the instruction and it can be found in Drive.

What if the request omits a project name?

Notis cannot infer a missing name reliably; include it in the webhook request.
