Questions about this workflow
Does the shortcut duplicate the deck?
No. It creates a shortcut to the existing Drive item.
How does Notis know the destination folder?
Name the destination folder in your instruction and ensure it exists in Drive.
Will this create a shortcut for every slide?
The trigger fires when a new slide is added, so the instruction should account for repeated runs, such as checking whether the shortcut already exists when that information is available.
