Give feedback initiatives a tidy Drive workspace
When a Canny update marks work that needs supporting material, have Notis create a dedicated folder in Drive.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Create File or Folder
Creates a new file or folder with metadata. use to create empty files or folders, or files with content by providing it in the request body (though this action primarily focuses on metadata creation).
Why this helps
Research notes and supporting files are easy to scatter when a request becomes an active initiative.
- Create a predictable place for initiative materials.
- Reduce time spent deciding where new research belongs.
- Keep related follow-up files grouped together.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Canny and Google Drive once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name the folder workflow.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to create a clearly named Drive folder when the Canny update indicates an initiative needs supporting materials.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and a run report channel.
- 5Test with one real Canny example and check the folder name and location.
Questions about this workflow
Can it create a folder for every feedback update?
Describe the condition in your instruction, so folders are created only when the update indicates a real initiative or research need.
Can it create the folder inside an existing parent?
The Drive action supports a parent folder specified by id or name. Ensure the parent folder exists and is identifiable.
