- 5Test with one real new file and review the created note.
Questions about this workflow
Will this summarize every type of file?
Not necessarily. Notis can only summarize content available in the event or accessible through connected app data. Specify what to do when file contents are unavailable.
Can I choose where the note is created?
Yes. Include the desired existing folder in your instruction. Notis will use the connected Drive actions available to create the note.
