Make the right job file available to a client
Use the supplied client and file details to update sharing on an existing Drive file when access needs to be granted.
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
Sharing can be delayed when the file, recipient, and access level need to be looked up and updated by hand.
- Reduce the steps to grant file access.
- Apply the requested role to the specified recipient.
- Keep client sharing connected to project context.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect AccuLynx and Google Drive once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it for client file sharing.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to grant the specified sharing role on the supplied existing Drive file to the identified recipient.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose the run report destination.
- 5Test with one approved file and recipient.
Questions about this workflow
Can this share a whole folder?
The listed action modifies sharing permissions for an existing Drive file. Use a folder only if the action accepts that folder as the existing item.
Does it decide who should have access?
Provide the intended recipient and role in the request. Notis should not guess recipients or grant broad access without an explicit instruction.
