Bulk importing contacts? Notis pre-generates file IDs in advance so creation is instant. No waiting for ID generation during the import.

Generate File IDs

Generates a set of file ids which can be provided in create or copy requests. use when you need to pre-allocate ids for new files or copies.

Why this helps

You're importing 100 contacts and trying to create files for each one, but ID generation adds latency. Your bulk import is slow because Drive IDs aren't ready.

  • Bulk imports complete faster
  • No ID generation bottlenecks
  • Better error handling with reserved IDs

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Before bulk importing contacts into Hubspot, ask Notis: 'Pre-generate 100 Google Drive file IDs and reserve them for me.'
  • 2Notis provides a list of IDs.
  • 3Use those IDs during your bulk import process.
  • 4When contacts arrive, files are created instantly with the reserved IDs.
  • 5Test with a small batch first to verify the flow.

Questions about this workflow

How many IDs can I pre-generate?

Notis can generate as many as you need. Generating 1000 IDs takes seconds. Ask for what you need.

Do I have to use all the IDs I generate?

No. Unused IDs stay reserved but unused. You can generate extras to be safe.

Can I use these IDs for other file types, not just contact files?

Yes. The IDs are generic. Use them for any Drive files you create—contact docs, deal files, etc.
