- Reduce duplicate manual entry during customer setup.
- Flag folders that do not contain enough information to create an account safely.

- 1Connect Google Docs and Salesforce once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation and give it a clear name.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to create an account only when the new folder clearly identifies a business, and report possible duplicates or unclear names for review.
- 4Pick New Folder Created in Root as the trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real business folder and verify the Salesforce account.
