Auto-Organize Drive Files as You Send Project Emails
Notis watches for emails you send to clients or team members, then automatically moves related Drive files into the correct project folder.
Trigger
Email Sent
Triggers when a Gmail message is sent by the authenticated user. It polls the 'SENT' label and emits metadata including sender, recipients, subject, timestamp, and thread ID.
Action
Move File
Tool to move a file from one folder to another in google drive. use when you need to reorganize files by changing their parent folder(s).
Why this helps
Files end up in the wrong folders, duplicates pile up, and your Drive becomes a mess. Manually organizing files while managing projects creates extra admin work that neurodivergent founders often skip, leaving everything disorganized.
- Keep Drive organized automatically as you communicate about projects
- Eliminate manual file reorganization without losing anything
- Create consistent folder structures that match your communication patterns
- Reduce the cognitive load of remembering where files belong
- Build a Drive structure that reflects your actual work flow
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Gmail and Google Drive to Notis
- 2Establish your main project folders in Drive (e.g., /Client A, /Project B)
- 3Ask Notis: 'When I send an email mentioning [Client Name], move any recently modified files related to that client into their project folder'
- 4Select 'Email Sent' as your trigger
- 5Test by sending a project email and verify files move within seconds
- 6Refine folder matching rules if needed—Notis learns your project naming over time
Questions about this workflow
What if a file belongs to multiple projects?
You can ask Notis to copy it to multiple folders, or create a primary location with shortcuts in other folders.
Will Notis move files I don't want moved?
No. You specify date ranges and criteria—only matching files are affected.
Can this work with shared drives?
Yes. Notis moves files across your entire Drive and shared drive ecosystem.
