Questions about this workflow
Does the trigger provide the changed file's content?
The listed trigger returns the file ID, last modified time, and modifier info. Your instruction needs to tell Notis how to retrieve the source content and identify the corresponding Drive file.
Can it create a Drive copy if one does not exist?
This workflow uses Edit File for an existing Google Drive file. A missing destination needs a separate workflow using a create or upload action.
