Auto-find your project folder as meetings begin

Scrambling to find the right folder minutes before a meeting kills focus. Notis automatically finds your project folder based on the event details and surfaces it, so you're ready in seconds.

Trigger

Event Starting Soon

Triggers when a calendar event is within a configured number of minutes from starting. Returns event details, time remaining, attendees, and join links when available.

Action

Find folder

Tool to find a folder in google drive by its name and optionally a parent folder. use when you need to locate a specific folder to perform further actions like creating files in it or listing its contents.

Why this helps

You have multiple nested folders and can't instantly remember where the project folder is. Last-minute searching drains mental energy before important meetings.

  • No more last-minute folder hunts.
  • Instant access to the right folder.
  • Reduces pre-meeting anxiety and cognitive load.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Google Calendar and Google Drive to Notis.
  • 2Tell Notis, 'Find the project folder for my meetings 5 minutes before they start' or set this in the portal.
  • 3Choose the trigger: 'Event Starting Soon'.
  • 4Specify how to identify folders (by event name, project name, or keywords).
  • 5Notis will message you with a link to the folder.

Questions about this workflow

What if there are multiple matching folders?

Notis will list the most likely matches. You can specify a unique identifier in your automation to narrow it down.

Can this create a shortcut instead of just finding it?

Yes. You can ask Notis to both find the folder and create a shortcut for quick access.
