Give each month of research a clear home
Start each research cycle with a dated Drive folder, so briefs are easier to find when you need them later.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Create a folder
Creates a new folder in google drive, optionally within a parent folder specified by its id or name; if a parent name is provided but not found, the action will fail.
Why this helps
Research documents accumulate without a consistent place, making it harder to find the right note during a busy week.
- Creates a predictable monthly location for research outputs.
- Reduces time spent deciding where to save documents.
- Makes past research cycles easier to browse.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Bigdata.com MCP and Google Drive once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it for your monthly research library.
- 3Tell Notis to create a clearly dated folder in the chosen Drive location for that month's research.
- 4Choose a monthly schedule and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real run and confirm the folder appears in the intended location.
Questions about this workflow
Does this folder contain the research itself?
This workflow creates the folder. A separate research instruction or workflow can save briefs inside it.
What if a folder with that name already exists?
Specify how Notis should handle an existing folder in your instruction, and test the behavior with your Drive setup.
