Give each month of billing records a clear home
Start each month with a folder ready for the billing documents you collect.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action

Why this helps
Monthly records are harder to maintain when there is no consistent folder structure.
- Create a predictable monthly folder structure.
- Reduce repeated setup work.
- Make billing records easier to browse by month.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Billsby and Google Drive once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
- 3Tell Notis to create a dated folder for the monthly billing records you specify.
- 4Choose a recurring schedule and a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with one real example and confirm the intended parent folder is clear.
Questions about this workflow
Will the folder contain the month's Billsby files?
This action creates a folder. Tell Notis how any files should be added in a separate workflow, or use this folder as the destination for your own process.
Can the folder be created inside an existing Drive folder?
Yes, identify the parent folder in your instruction so Notis can place the new folder there.
