Create Apollo accounts from new OneDrive folders

A new folder can mark a new relationship. Capture it in Apollo automatically.

Trigger

OneDrive Folder Created Trigger

Triggers when a new folder is created in OneDrive. Uses Gmail-style state management for reliable duplicate prevention.

Action

Create an Apollo account

Creates a new account in apollo.io; a new record is created even if a similar account exists, and provided `owner id` or `account stage id` must be valid existing ids.

Why this helps

New accounts get overlooked when folder creation and CRM setup happen in separate moments.

  • Capture new accounts immediately
  • Standardize account creation
  • Reduce missed handoffs

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect OneDrive and Apollo in the Notis portal once.
  • 2Create an automation telling Notis how new client folders should become Apollo accounts.
  • 3Pick the OneDrive Folder Created trigger.
  • 4Choose a report channel and test with one representative folder.

Questions about this workflow

Can folder names provide account clues?

Yes. Notis can use available folder context and report anything that needs confirmation.

Will duplicate accounts be prevented?

Apollo creates a new record when requested, so have Notis check for an existing account before creating one when possible.
