Keep a readable record of location checks
Have Notis turn each submitted lookup request and its response into a searchable Drive record.
Trigger

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
Location checks are easy to repeat when their results and original inputs are not recorded together.
- Keep the submitted location and lookup result together.
- Create a durable record for later reference.
- Reduce repeated manual lookups when the same location comes up again.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Big data cloud and Google Drive once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or tell Notis in plain language.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to check the submitted location and create a Drive log entry with the request and returned result.
- 4Choose a webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real location lookup.
Questions about this workflow
Does Drive automatically append to one file?
This action creates a file from text. Ask Notis to create a separate dated log entry, or describe a different supported Drive action if you need another record format.
What should the log include?
Specify the input and returned location details you want recorded in your instruction.
Does the lookup itself come from Drive?
No. Big data cloud handles geolocation lookup; Google Drive stores the text record.
