Turn a WhatsApp approval into Drive access

Record an approval in chat, then have Notis grant the requested role on the specified Drive file.

Trigger

Webhook received

Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.

Action

Add file sharing preference

Modifies sharing permissions for an existing google drive file, granting a specified role to a user, group, domain, or 'anyone'.

Why this helps

Approvals are easy to miss, and manual permission updates add another follow-up step.

  • Connect an explicit approval to the access change it authorizes.
  • Cut the manual step between approval and sharing.
  • Make the requested file and recipient part of the run record.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect 2chat and Google Drive once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in the portal or tell Notis from any channel to create one.
  • 3Ask Notis in one instruction to verify that the webhook contains an approval, file ID, recipient, and requested role before changing sharing.
  • 4Choose the webhook trigger and where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real approval and verify the resulting permission in Drive.

Questions about this workflow

What details must the webhook provide?

Include an explicit approval, the Drive file ID, the recipient, and the role to grant. Notis should not infer permission changes from an ambiguous message.

Can it share with a group or domain?

The Drive action supports granting a role to a user, group, domain, or anyone. Use only the intended recipient from the approved request.
