Archive vehicle history reports as they arrive
When a history report file is submitted to Notis, upload it to Drive with a clear vehicle reference in its file name.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Upload File
Uploads a file (max 5mb) to google drive, moving it to a specified folder if a valid folder id is provided, otherwise uploads to root.
Why this helps
History reports can get lost among downloads when there is no dependable place to store them.
- Store supplied report files in Google Drive.
- Use a consistent vehicle reference in the file name when provided.
- Reduce manual download and upload steps.
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 upload each supplied vehicle history report file to Drive and name it using the provided vehicle reference and report date.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real report file and confirm it appears in Drive.
Questions about this workflow
Does CarsXE data alone provide the report file?
The webhook request must include or make available the file to upload. A text lookup response alone is not a file.
What if there is no report date?
Notis should use only dates included in the request. Supply a date if you want it in the file name.
