Make the video archive folder easy to locate

A scheduled folder lookup can check that your named archive destination is discoverable when you need to file or review work.

Trigger

Recurring schedule

Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.

Action

Find folder

Tool to find a folder in google drive by its name and optionally a parent folder. use when you need to locate a specific folder to perform further actions like creating files in it or listing its contents.

Why this helps

When teams rely on an archive folder but cannot quickly locate it, video filing gets delayed or becomes inconsistent.

  • Bring the archive destination into a recurring report
  • Reduce manual folder searching
  • Make it easier to spot when folder naming context needs attention

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Google Drive once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation that finds the named archive folder and reports the result.
  • 3Choose a recurring schedule and the channel for run reports.
  • 4Test with the actual folder name and confirm the correct location is found.

Questions about this workflow

Does this create the folder if it is missing?

No. Find folder locates a folder by name and optional parent. Creating a folder is a separate Drive action.

Can it search a specific parent folder?

The Find folder action supports an optional parent folder.
