Create a Datascope location when a root folder is created

Turn a new operational folder into a ready-to-use field location.

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

Create Location

Tool to create a new location in DataScope with geographic coordinates. Use when you need to register a physical location with name and code identifiers.

Why this helps

New site folders can appear before the corresponding location exists in Datascope.

  • Keeps location records aligned with workspace structure
  • Reduces duplicate setup work
  • Creates a consistent onboarding cue

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Google Docs and Datascope in Notis.
  • 2Create an automation named Root folder location registration.
  • 3Tell Notis to create a Datascope location from the new folder context, using the supplied name, code, and geographic coordinates.
  • 4Pick New Folder Created in Root as the trigger.
  • 5Choose a report channel and test with one real root folder.

Questions about this workflow

What details are required to create a location?

Provide the location name, code identifiers, and geographic coordinates in the instruction or available context.

Does the folder itself become a Datascope location automatically?

Notis uses the folder event as the cue and creates the location from the details you provide.
