Create Shortcut to File/Folder
Tool to create a shortcut to a file or folder in google drive. use when you need to link to an existing drive item from another location without duplicating it.
Why this helps

- Gather links to source files in one folder.
- Keep shortcuts pointing to the original Drive items.
- Reduce duplicate copies during resource handoffs.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect BotMape and Google Drive once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a clear name.
- 3Tell Notis to use the incoming webhook context to create a shortcut for each specified Drive resource in the specified destination folder.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real example and verify the shortcuts point to the intended files.
Questions about this workflow
