Notis

Reuse approved video assets without overwriting the original

Create a separate working copy for a new campaign while keeping the approved source file 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

Teams often reuse a good clip by editing the original, risking a broken reference or an accidental change to the approved version.

  • Preserve the original approved file.
  • Create a dedicated copy for a new use.
  • Cut down on manual asset duplication and follow-up.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect BytePlus Ark and Google Drive once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it for asset reuse.
  • 3In one instruction, ask Notis to copy the existing Drive file identified in the webhook request and name the copy for its new use.
  • 4Choose the webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real approved file id and confirm the copy appears with a distinct name.

Questions about this workflow

Can the automation find a file from only a BytePlus task id?

No. The request needs to include the Google Drive file id for the file to copy.

Will the new copy replace the original?

The copy action duplicates the existing file. Ask Notis to preserve the source and give the new copy a clear name.

Does BytePlus Ark automatically tell Notis when a file is approved?

No trigger events are available from BytePlus Ark here. Send a webhook when the asset is ready to reuse.
