Keep Cloudinary originals backed up in Google Drive
Send a Cloudinary asset reference to Notis and save the retrieved original in Drive for safekeeping.
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
Important source media can be hard to locate when it lives only in Cloudinary.
- Keep selected original media in a familiar Drive location.
- Start an archive from an HTTP request without switching apps.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Cloudinary and Google Drive once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation and name it Cloudinary originals archive.
- 3Tell Notis to retrieve the Cloudinary asset identified in each request and upload the original to the chosen Drive folder.
- 4Pick a webhook trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real asset request and confirm the file appears in Drive.
Questions about this workflow
What starts this automation?
An HTTP request to its Notis webhook starts it. Include enough information for Notis to identify the Cloudinary asset.
Does it transform the image?
No. This workflow retrieves and archives the original asset; it does not ask Cloudinary to generate a transformation.
