- Keep the original file in its existing location.
- Cut down on repeated searching.
Setup

- 1Connect Coda and Google Drive once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation from Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis from any channel.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to find the relevant Drive reference for each new Coda page and create a shortcut in the specified folder.
- 4Pick the New Coda Page trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real page and reference file.
Questions about this workflow
Does a shortcut duplicate the file?
No. The shortcut points to the existing Drive item.
What if more than one file looks relevant?
Specify how Notis should select the reference, or ask it to report ambiguous matches instead of creating a shortcut.
