Action
List Files and Folders
Tool to list a user's files and folders in google drive. use this to search or browse for files and folders based on various criteria.
Why this helps
Several similarly named files make it easy to choose an outdated or incorrect version.
- Compare likely source files before proceeding.
- Reduce wrong-version conversions.
- Keep lookup close to the conversion request.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect CloudConvert and Google Drive once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis in plain language from any channel.
- 3Describe the outcome: list files matching the request criteria and use CloudConvert only after identifying the intended source.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with a request that has multiple plausible matches.
Questions about this workflow
How is this different from Find file?
This action lists a user's Drive items based on criteria. Find file is for searching specific files or folders.
Will it choose the newest file automatically?
Only if the request and returned data provide a reliable basis and the instruction says how to choose. Otherwise ask for clarification.
What happens if no file matches?
The automation should report that no source was found and avoid starting a conversion without a file.
