Start each month with a ready review folder
Have Notis create a clearly named Drive folder on your chosen schedule so vehicle review files have an obvious home.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Create a folder
Creates a new folder in google drive, optionally within a parent folder specified by its id or name; if a parent name is provided but not found, the action will fail.
Why this helps
Starting a recurring review by creating folders and deciding where files belong adds small tasks that are easy to forget.
- Create a consistent folder for each scheduled review period.
- Make it easier to find that period's vehicle materials.
- Remove a recurring setup task from your checklist.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect CarsXE and Google Drive once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3Tell Notis to create a Google Drive folder named for the current vehicle review period.
- 4Choose a recurring schedule trigger and where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one run and confirm the folder name and location.
Questions about this workflow
Will the folder be created inside a specific parent folder?
Describe the parent folder in your instruction and ensure Notis can identify it in Drive. The action can fail if a named parent is not found.
Does this workflow move vehicle records into the folder?
No. It creates the folder. Moving files requires a separate workflow and identifiable file records.
