Notis

Weekly backup of critical files

Accidents happen. Notis automatically backs up your critical deal files every week, so you're never stuck if a file gets accidentally deleted.

Trigger

Recurring schedule

Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.

Action

Download a file from Google Drive

Downloads a file from google drive by its id. for google workspace documents (docs, sheets, slides), optionally exports to a specified `mime type`. for other file types, downloads in their native format regardless of mime type.

Why this helps

A critical deal file gets accidentally deleted or corrupted. You have no backup. Hours of work are gone. You're frantically checking if Google's trash recovery still works.

  • Critical files are protected weekly
  • Recovery is instant if something goes wrong
  • Peace of mind that your work is backed up

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Google Drive to Notis.
  • 2Ask Notis: 'Every Friday at 6 PM, download all files from my Deals folder and store them in my Backups folder.'
  • 3Set trigger: Notis Cron (recurring schedule).
  • 4Specify which folders to back up and how often.
  • 5Test by running a backup manually and verifying files appear in your backup location.

Questions about this workflow

Where do the backup files get stored?

In a location you specify—a Backups folder in Drive, or exported to a local directory if you have Notis linked to your computer.

Will this create duplicates if I back up the same files twice?

Backups will overwrite previous versions, keeping only the latest. Or Notis can timestamp them: 'Backup_Friday_July10.zip' so you keep a history.

Can I back up more frequently, like daily?

Yes. Ask Notis to back up daily, multiple times a day, or even after every major file change. More frequent is safer.
