Start each quarterly research cycle with a Drive workspace
Give every quarterly lead research cycle a folder with a clear period label.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Create a folder

Why this helps
Quarterly research materials mix with older work, making it hard to see which cycle they belong to.
- Separate materials by research cycle
- Make quarterly folders easy to recognize
- Avoid repetitive setup at the start of a cycle
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 it for quarterly research workspaces.
- 3Tell Notis to create a Google Drive folder labeled with the current quarter and any supplied research identifier.
- 4Choose the notis_cron trigger and choose where reports should go.
- 5Test with one real run and review the folder label.
