Why this helps
Research notes about channels can become scattered when there is no obvious place to save them.
- Create a home for channel research
- Make later notes easier to organize
- Cut down on manual folder creation

- 1Connect YouTube and Google Drive once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3Tell Notis to create a Drive folder named using the subscribed channel details available in the event.
- 4Choose New YouTube Channel Subscription as the trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real subscription and confirm the folder name.
Questions about this workflow
Can the folder be created in a research parent folder?
Yes. Specify the parent folder in your instruction and make sure it exists in Drive.
What if the event does not include the channel name?
The instruction can specify a fallback folder name, or you can provide a naming convention that uses only available details.
