Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Edit File

Why this helps
Copying new results into an existing report can leave stale details and confusing versions behind.
- Keep a chosen report current as new results arrive.
- Include the run date and source context in the updated content.
- Reduce manual editing after repeated browser tasks.
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 how to identify the existing report and replace its content with a dated summary of the submitted BrowserAct result.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Submit one real result and verify the intended report was updated.
Questions about this workflow
Will this create a new report each time?
No. This action overwrites the content of an existing file. The prompt must identify the intended file unambiguously.
Can it preserve the old report content?
The action replaces the full content. If you need a history, instruct Notis to create a separate dated record instead.
