Start new work from an approved reference
When a handoff names an existing Drive file, make a copy for the new project and keep the original intact.
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 risk editing a shared reference or repeatedly searching for the right starting file.
- Preserve the source reference file
- Create a separate working copy for a new project
- Use the file ID and project name provided in the handoff
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Bannerbite and Google Drive once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation and describe that it should copy the supplied Drive file ID for the named project.
- 3Pick the webhook trigger and arrange for a request to start the automation when a project needs a reference copy.
- 4Choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real reference file ID and verify the copy in Drive.
Questions about this workflow
Can Notis copy a file based only on its Bannerbite template name?
The copy action identifies the source by its Google Drive file ID. Supply that ID in the handoff or use another process to find it.
Will this overwrite the original?
The action duplicates the existing Drive file, creating a copy rather than overwriting the source.
