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
Duplicating video files creates competing copies, while leaving them in one location makes project handoffs harder to navigate.
- Make an asset discoverable from a second location.
- Avoid maintaining duplicate copies of the same video.
- Keep the project's Drive folder useful for handoffs.
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 project asset shortcuts.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to create a shortcut to the specified existing Drive file in the specified existing destination folder.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one source file id and destination folder, confirming the shortcut points to the intended asset.
