Plan a Contentful space for a new root folder
Pair a new top level project folder with a clear view of your Contentful workspace options.
Trigger
New Folder Created in Root
Triggers when a new folder is created in the root folder of Google Drive. This trigger monitors Google Drive and fires when new folders are detected in the root directory.
Action
List spaces
Lists all spaces that the authenticated user has access to in contentful. this is a fundamental operation needed before performing any other content management actions since most operations require a space id.
Why this helps
A new project folder can grow without a documented destination for published content.
- Adds a content destination early
- Reduces project ambiguity
- Supports cleaner folder kickoff
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Docs and Contentful once in Notis.
- 2Create an automation named Root folder space planning.
- 3Tell Notis to list Contentful spaces and recommend a workspace using the new folder name and context.
- 4Pick New Folder Created in Root as the trigger and choose a report channel.
- 5Test with one new root folder.
Questions about this workflow
Is the folder itself copied to Contentful?
No. The workflow uses its event context to produce a space recommendation.
Can it rename a space instead?
Use a separate update workflow when the approved name is known.
