Prepare a weekly batch of documents as a ZIP
Set a recurring run to assemble a batch of documents from the Drive materials and data you identify, ready to download together.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Generate documents as ZIP
Tool to bulk generate multiple documents into a ZIP archive. Use when you need a batch of docs packaged as ZIP.
Why this helps
Preparing several recurring documents one by one creates repetitive work and makes it easier to miss one.
- Package multiple generated documents into one ZIP archive.
- Use a recurring schedule for a predictable batch process.
- Reduce repeated manual document creation.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Drive and Docugenerate once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation and name it for your document batch.
- 3Tell Notis which Drive materials and data to use and how to generate each document in the ZIP.
- 4Choose a recurring schedule trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real batch and confirm the ZIP contains the expected documents.

Does the schedule search all of Drive automatically?
No. Describe the materials or data Notis should use in your instruction. Do not assume the cron trigger supplies a Drive query.

Comment Added (Docs/Sheets/Slides)

Generate document with attachments

Generate document with merge
Tool to generate a PDF and append additional PDF files. Use when you need to merge extra pages into a generated document.
File Deleted or Trashed

Update Document
Tool to update a document's metadata. Use when renaming an existing document after confirming the document ID.
File Shared (Permissions Added)
Triggers when new sharing permissions are granted to a file or folder. Uses Drive's `changes.list` endpoint with inline `permissions` in the `fields` mask so each change carries the file's current permission set provider-atomically. We diff that against `seen_permission_keys` to identify newly added grants. Drive page tokens are the primary cursor; if Drive rejects a stored token, the trigger raises `PollingTriggerError` without clearing state rather than silently re-baselining and dropping events. Limitation: truly ephemeral permissions (added and revoked between two polls without any other file modification in between) are not detected. Drive Activity API would catch those but requires an additional OAuth scope and a different payload contract.
Get or list templates
Tool to retrieve or list existing templates. Use when needing template IDs and metadata before making updates or generating documents.
File Updated
Triggers when a file's metadata or content changes in Google Drive.
Update Template
