Put the video brief in Drive before production
Start with a webhook request carrying the brief, then let Notis create a Drive file your team can refer to while preparing the video.
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
Briefs can stay buried in messages, making it easy to miss key context when creating or revising a video.
- Keep project context in a shared location
- Reduce searching through messages for requirements
- Give collaborators one brief to reference
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Captions and Google Drive once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation that creates a Drive file from the incoming video brief details.
- 3Choose the webhook trigger and select a run report channel.
- 4Test with one real brief and open the created file in Drive.
