Give each new Trello board a Drive home

Start a project with a place for its documents, so files do not end up scattered across your Drive.

Trigger

New Board Trigger

Triggered when a board is created in the specified workspace

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

A new board often starts before anyone has created a shared place for briefs, references, and deliverables.

  • Create a project folder as board work begins.
  • Keep supporting documents organized from the start.
  • Reduce the setup task that is easy to forget in a busy launch.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Trello and Google Drive once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation and ask Notis to create a Drive folder for each new Trello board.
  • 3Describe how the folder should be named and whether it belongs inside a parent folder; provide a parent folder id or name if applicable.
  • 4Pick the Trello New Board trigger and choose where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real board creation and confirm the folder name and location.

Questions about this workflow

Can the folder name follow the board name?

Yes. Ask Notis to use the board name returned by Trello, if it is available in the event data.

Can it create the folder inside a parent folder?

Yes. Provide the parent folder id or name in your instruction. A parent name that cannot be found will cause the action to fail.

Will this create subfolders too?

This workflow describes one folder. You can specify a simple folder structure in your instruction, but each desired result should be supported by available actions.
