Keep transaction record metadata current
Use a webhook request to update the metadata on the Drive file you identify, based on the status you provide.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Update File (Metadata)
Updates file metadata. uses patch semantics (partial update) as per google drive api v3. use this tool to modify attributes of an existing file like its name, description, or parent folders. note: this action currently supports metadata updates only. file content updates require multipart/related upload and are not yet implemented.
Why this helps
A transaction status may change while the related Drive record keeps outdated descriptive metadata.
- Keep a specified record's metadata aligned with supplied status
- Avoid a separate manual metadata update
- Preserve a clearer trail for later review
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Blocknative and Google Drive once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis from any channel.
- 3Describe which metadata to update on the supplied file ID using the status and values included in each request.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real alert and a known Drive file.

Can this update file contents?

Where does the new metadata value come from?
Include it in the webhook request or specify how to interpret supplied alert details in the prompt.
