Trigger

New Coda Document Trigger

Triggers when a new Coda document is created.

Action

Create Collection

Tool to create a new collection. use after you have a valid workspace id and want to group documents by a specific extractor within that workspace.

Why this helps

New workstreams often start collecting files before their document structure is ready.

  • Creates structure at workstream start
  • Reduces setup delay
  • Keeps grouping decisions documented

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Coda and Affinda once in Notis.
  • 2Create an automation that creates a collection from approved workstream details.
  • 3Pick New Coda Document as the trigger.
  • 4Choose a destination for creation reports.
  • 5Test with one workstream document containing the required workspace and extractor context.

Questions about this workflow
