Auto-copy team collaboration folders for confirmed attendees
Instead of sharing one folder, Notis automatically copies your collaboration template for each confirmed attendee, giving everyone their own space to contribute without stepping on each other's work.
Trigger
Attendee Response Changed
Polling trigger that fires when any attendee's RSVP changes to accepted, declined, or tentative. Returns attendee info and current status.
Action
Copy file
Duplicates an existing file in google drive, identified by its `file id`.
Why this helps
Shared folders create chaos when multiple people edit simultaneously. You either set up individual copies manually or deal with conflicted changes and confusion about who's working on what.
- Each attendee gets their own copy, reducing edit conflicts.
- Folders are ready instantly when they confirm attendance.
- Eliminates manual folder copying and setup.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Create a collaboration template folder in Google Drive.
- 2Connect Google Calendar and Google Drive to Notis.
- 3Tell Notis, 'Copy my collaboration template for each person who accepts the meeting invite' or set this in the portal.
- 4Select the trigger: 'Attendee Response Changed' (filtered to accepted responses).
- 5Specify the template folder and where copies should go.
- 6Test by inviting someone, having them accept, and confirming a copy is created.
Questions about this workflow
Will each person's copy automatically share with the team after the meeting?
By default, each person gets a private copy. You can configure sharing in the automation prompt if needed.
What if someone changes their RSVP from accept to decline?
The automation only triggers on acceptance. Declined responses don't trigger folder copying.
