Give every Bonsai project a clear home in Drive
Start a project with an easy-to-find Drive folder named from its Bonsai context.
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
Files get scattered when a project starts without a predictable place to put them.
- Establish a consistent project location.
- Reduce the setup steps after a Bonsai project begins.
- Use project details already available to Notis.
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 Drive folder named from the Bonsai project context and state when a project identifier is missing.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test the workflow with one real project example.
Questions about this workflow
Can it place the folder inside a parent folder?
The create file or folder action supports metadata creation. If you need a specific parent location, specify it in the instruction and test that the connected action supports the needed details.
What happens if the project name is missing?
Ask Notis to report the missing name rather than create an ambiguous folder.
