Give handoff videos a clear, useful Drive name
When a request carries the approved title, Notis can update the existing Drive file metadata so the asset is easier to recognize.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Update File (Metadata)
Updates file metadata. uses patch semantics (partial update) as per google drive api v3. use this tool to modify attributes of an existing file like its name, description, or parent folders. note: this action currently supports metadata updates only. file content updates require multipart/related upload and are not yet implemented.
Why this helps
Generic filenames make it harder to choose the right cut when collaborators are reviewing or reusing video assets.
- Make the intended video easier to recognize
- Improve clarity during handoffs
- Avoid renaming files manually after a request
