Put approved documents in Google Drive
Use an approval webhook to have Notis check the related Baserow record and upload the available document to Drive.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Upload File
Uploads a file (max 5mb) to google drive, moving it to a specified folder if a valid folder id is provided, otherwise uploads to root.
Why this helps
Approved documents can sit outside the shared filing location while someone remembers to upload them.
- Moves approved content into Drive promptly
- Uses recorded approval context
- Reduces manual upload follow-through
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Baserow and Google Drive once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3In one instruction, specify how to verify approval in Baserow and where the document content and file name come from.
- 4Choose a webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one approved real example and confirm the uploaded file.
Questions about this workflow
Can it upload a file that is not available to Notis?
The workflow needs document content or an accessible file source to upload. A record that only mentions a file without providing access is not enough.
Can it upload unapproved documents too?
Your instruction should require an approval status in the record before upload.
