Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Create File or Folder
Creates a new file or folder with metadata. use to create empty files or folders, or files with content by providing it in the request body (though this action primarily focuses on metadata creation).
Why this helps
Folder setup and access control take several manual steps when a new client project starts.
- Create a client folder from available project context.
- Apply the requested access role in the same automation.
- Reduce repeated workspace setup.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Bonsai and Google Drive once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to create a client folder and grant the named collaborator the specified role, requiring a valid identity and folder target.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real project and a collaborator whose access is approved.
Questions about this workflow
What access can it grant?
The Drive sharing action supports a specified role for a user, group, domain, or anyone. Name the intended recipient and role explicitly.
Can it share with anyone by default?
No. The instruction should use the specific collaborator or group provided for the project and avoid broad access unless that is explicitly intended.
