Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Edit File

Why this helps
Project documents go stale when updates in the database are not copied across.
- Refreshes a document from current record details
- Reduces manual copy and paste
- Keeps project context together in Drive
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, identify the Baserow records and existing Drive file, then describe the replacement document content.
- 4Choose a webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real project and confirm the correct file content before using it routinely.
Questions about this workflow

The action overwrites the file content with new text. Specify the complete content you want the file to contain.
Can Notis identify the right file from a project record?
