Give incoming projects a Drive home
Start a project folder from the name supplied with an incoming request, so its files have a clear place to go.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Create a folder
Creates a new folder in google drive, optionally within a parent folder specified by its id or name; if a parent name is provided but not found, the action will fail.
Why this helps
New work can generate documents before anyone has created a folder to hold them.
- Create a project home at intake.
- Use the supplied project name for easier recognition.
- Reduce manual folder setup.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Drive in the Notis portal and connect any request source you use.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and add a name and prompt.
- 3Ask Notis in one instruction to create a Drive folder only when the webhook includes a clear project or workstream name.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and a report channel.
- 5Send one real example request and confirm the folder was created with the intended name.
Questions about this workflow
What happens when the request has no project name?
The instruction should tell Notis to skip folder creation when the name is missing or unclear.
Can the folder be created under a parent folder?
Name the intended existing parent folder in the instruction so Notis can locate it.
