Action
Create File or Folder
Creates a new file or folder with metadata. use to create empty files or folders, or files with content by providing it in the request body (though this action primarily focuses on metadata creation).
Why this helps
Supporting lead materials arrive in multiple places and collaborators cannot tell where to add them.
- Provide a consistent location for related materials
- Make handoffs easier to follow
- Reduce uncertainty about where research belongs
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Bettercontact and Google Drive once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name the research folder workflow.
- 3Tell Notis to create a Google Drive folder for the incoming lead request using its supplied name or identifier.
- 4Choose the notis_webhook trigger and where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real request and verify the folder is created.
Questions about this workflow

Why choose Create File or Folder?
