Preserve a monthly snapshot of browser research
Use a recurring schedule to copy a selected evidence file and keep a dated reference for later review.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Copy file
Duplicates an existing file in google drive, identified by its `file id`.
Why this helps
Research evidence can change, making it hard to revisit what informed an earlier decision.
- Preserve a point-in-time copy of a selected file.
- Make past research easier to revisit alongside later findings.
- Keep snapshot naming and source identity clear.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect BrowserAct and Google Drive once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
- 3Tell Notis which existing Drive evidence file to copy each month and how to name the dated snapshot using the current research context.
- 4Pick the recurring schedule and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Run once with a real evidence file and check that the copy is clearly identifiable.
Questions about this workflow
Does the copy action capture a live BrowserAct session?
No. It copies an existing Google Drive file. BrowserAct findings must first be present in a Drive file.
What happens if the source file cannot be identified?
The prompt should report that it could not find a clear source and avoid copying a different file.
