Create a separate working copy for review
When a review needs a working duplicate, copy the identified Drive file and keep the original intact.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Copy file
Duplicates an existing file in google drive, identified by its `file id`.
Why this helps
Reviewers may need a working version without changing the source file.
- Preserve the identified source file.
- Give reviewers a separate copy for approved work.
- Keep the copy tied to a clear review request.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Borneo and Google Drive once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name the review copy workflow.
- 3Describe: use the Borneo finding in this request to identify the source file and create a Drive copy only when the request specifies that a separate review copy is needed.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one approved file and verify the copy is distinct from the source.
Questions about this workflow
Does copying remove sensitive data?
No. Copying duplicates the file. Do not treat a copy as redacted unless a separate, verified redaction process has changed its contents.
Can the workflow copy a file without an explicit request?
Set the instruction to copy only when the request specifies that a review copy is needed.
