Give each CloudPDF case a Drive folder
When a new case or document reference arrives, create a clearly named folder in Drive for its follow-up materials.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
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
Related PDFs and notes end up in different places because there is no obvious folder to start from.
- Start each case with a clear place for files
- Use the case reference in the folder name
- Reduce repeated folder setup
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect CloudPDF and Google Drive once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, then New Automation.
- 3Tell Notis to create a Drive folder for each new case reference in the webhook and report when a reference is missing.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Send one real case event to test; confirm the folder name and parent folder.
Questions about this workflow
Can the folder be created inside an existing parent?
Yes, if you name an existing parent folder in your instruction. The folder action can fail if a specified parent name cannot be found.
Does this also move the PDF into the folder?
No. This workflow creates the folder. Moving or uploading a document requires a separate action and sufficient document details.
