Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Create a File from Text
Creates a new file in google drive from provided text content (up to 10mb), supporting various formats including automatic conversion to google workspace types.
Why this helps
Starting a project often means rereading a long intake and chasing details that were never supplied.
- Reduce time spent rereading long form responses.
- Separate stated requirements from open questions.
- Create a starting point for a kickoff discussion.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Basin and Google Drive once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation named Project intake brief.
- 3Tell Notis: When a Basin project intake arrives, create a Google Drive document summarizing the goal, requested deliverables, constraints, timing stated by the submitter, and unanswered questions; do not invent scope or dates.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real project intake.
Questions about this workflow
Can Notis decide a project timeline from the responses?
It can report timing supplied in the form. It should label missing timelines as unanswered.
Does this create a project folder?
No. It creates a document from text using the Google Drive create-file-from-text action.
