Turn deck requests into a usable brief
Send Notis the deck context through an HTTP request and save a clear brief in Drive for the next person picking up the work.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Create a File from Text
Creates a new file in google drive from provided text content (up to 10mb), supporting various formats including automatic conversion to google workspace types.
Why this helps
Deck requests often arrive with scattered context, leaving the person doing the work to reconstruct the goal.
- Capture the supplied purpose and constraints in one place
- Make open questions visible early
- Create a searchable record in Drive
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Slides and Google Drive once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, name it, and write an instruction to turn the incoming deck context into a concise brief.
- 3Tell Notis to create a Drive document with the purpose, key points, constraints, and open questions supplied in the request.
- 4Pick a webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Send one real example request and check the resulting document.
