Keep the Drive subscriber reference details up to date
Use profile updates to refresh supported metadata on the corresponding Drive file, helping teammates recognize current context at a glance.
Trigger
Profile Update Trigger
Triggered when a subscriber's profile is updated in Mailchimp
Action
Update File (Metadata)
Updates file metadata. uses patch semantics (partial update) as per google drive api v3. use this tool to modify attributes of an existing file like its name, description, or parent folders. note: this action currently supports metadata updates only. file content updates require multipart/related upload and are not yet implemented.
Why this helps
A file description can fall behind the subscriber profile, making it harder to tell whether a Drive reference is current.
- Keep the file description aligned with available profile details.
- Make subscriber references easier to recognize.
- Limit updates to metadata supported by the event.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Mailchimp and Google Drive once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it for subscriber reference updates.
- 3Tell Notis to find the matching existing file and update only specified metadata using values present in the profile event.
- 4Pick the Mailchimp Profile Update trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real profile update and review the resulting metadata.
Questions about this workflow
Will this change the file contents?
No. The action updates file metadata only. Use a content editing action if the document text itself needs to change.
Can it set metadata from a value that is not in the event?
No. The workflow should only use values Mailchimp provides or values your instruction supplies.
