Create a Convolo character from a new brief

Move from a documented character concept to a ready profile in one flow.

Trigger

New Document Added

Triggers when a new Google Doc is added/created. This trigger monitors Google Docs and fires when new documents are detected.

Action

Create Character

Tool to create a new character. Use when you have name, voice type, backstory, and optional actions ready.

Why this helps

Character concepts wait in documents while someone manually recreates them in the AI platform.

  • Shortens setup time
  • Preserves the approved concept
  • Reduces copy and paste errors

  • 3Tell Notis to create a Convolo character from the document's name, voice type, and backstory.

Questions about this workflow

What information must the brief contain?
