Create a Drive folder for each research cycle
Start every research cycle with a clean place for findings.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Create a folder
Creates a new folder in google drive, optionally within a parent folder specified by its id or name; if a parent name is provided but not found, the action will fail.
Why this helps
Recurring research becomes hard to navigate when files share one crowded folder.
- Keeps each cycle separated
- Makes handoffs easier
- Prevents folder setup from being forgotten

- 1Connect Brightdata and Google Drive in Notis.
- 2Create the automation and describe the folder naming outcome.
- 3Pick a cron schedule and choose the run report channel.
