- 2Create an automation and ask Notis to comment on the related Drive file when Trello activity contains a useful update.
- 3Describe which activity matters and how to identify the related file; supply a file id or a reliable matching rule if needed.
- 4Pick the Trello New Activity trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real activity event and review the comment and destination file.
Questions about this workflow
Does every activity create a comment?
Your instruction can ask Notis to comment only when returned activity contains a meaningful update. Notis cannot apply event filters during trigger setup.
How is the related Drive file located?
The file must be identifiable from returned Trello data or from a matching rule or file id that you provide.
What should the comment say?
Ask Notis for a short factual summary based on the activity data available, and have it say when the activity does not include enough context.
