- Make a related Drive record easier to open from a chosen location.
- Avoid creating duplicate copies of closeout files.
- Help future-you retrace why the card was archived.
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 shortcut when a Trello card is archived.
- 3Describe how to identify the supporting file and where the shortcut should be placed; provide a file id or a reliable matching rule.
- 4Pick the Trello Card Archived trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real archived card and verify the shortcut points to the intended file.
Questions about this workflow
Does this copy the file?
No. The Create Shortcut to File/Folder action creates a shortcut to an existing Drive item.
Can Notis infer the right closeout record?
Only when the record can be identified from returned information or a matching rule you provide. Otherwise, give Notis the file id.
Can the shortcut go into a specific folder?
Yes, if you provide the destination folder information required by the action.
