Trigger
Recurring schedule

Action
Create a File from Text

Why this helps
Explicit asks for a reply are easy to overlook when no one has time to revisit every submission.
- Collect explicit requests for a reply or action.
- Keep the submitter's requested next step visible.
- Make a recurring follow-up review easier to complete.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Basin and Google Drive once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation named Follow-up request review.
- 3Tell Notis: On each run, review Basin submissions available since the last run and create a Google Drive document listing responses that explicitly request contact or action, the request made, supplied contact details, and any unavailable history or timestamps.
- 4Pick a recurring schedule trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real submission containing a follow-up request.
Questions about this workflow
Does this send replies to submitters?
No. It collects requests for review in Google Drive.
Can it reliably find only new responses?
Only if the Basin data available to Notis includes enough history or timestamps to distinguish new submissions. The report should disclose if that is unavailable.
