Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Edit File
Updates an existing google drive file by overwriting its entire content with new text (max 10mb).
Why this helps
Teams can continue relying on a report that no longer reflects a fresh validation check.
- Update a known report in place.
- Keep the team's familiar Drive reference current.
- Reduce manual rebuilding after a recheck.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Clearout and Google Drive once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation named Refresh validation report.
- 3Tell Notis which list to revalidate and how to identify the existing report whose content should be replaced.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and a channel for run reports.
- 5Test against a noncritical report and verify the updated content.
Questions about this workflow
Does this preserve the old report text?
The action overwrites the file content. Keep a separate copy or revision if you need to retain the prior text.
Can it update report metadata too?
This action updates content. Use a separate metadata workflow if the file name or other metadata also needs changing.
