Create a separate copy when an approved video needs reuse
When a request names an approved Drive file and a new use, Notis can make a copy to keep the reuse workflow distinct.
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
Reusing a video asset can get messy when teams edit or rename the original instead of preserving a stable source.
- Preserve the original source file
- Create a separate working copy for another use
- Reduce manual duplication steps
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Drive once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation that copies the file id supplied in the request for the stated reuse.
- 3Choose the webhook trigger and a channel for run reports.
- 4Test with a real approved file and verify the copy in Drive.
Questions about this workflow
Does this copy a video directly from Captions?
The listed Google Drive action copies an existing Drive file by file id. The request must identify a file that is already in Drive.
What should the request include?
It should identify the source file and provide any useful copy naming or filing context for the automation.
