Share the right Drive file when requested
Turn a clear sharing request into a permission update on the intended 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
Access requests create a distracting chain of searches, permission menus, and follow-up checks.
- Handle routine sharing requests with less context switching.
- Apply the requested role to a specified recipient.
- Keep access tasks moving from a clear request.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Ai ml api and Google Drive once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3Tell Notis to identify the file, recipient, and requested role from each incoming request, then update sharing for that file.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real, authorized sharing request and confirm the resulting access.
Questions about this workflow
Which sharing roles are supported?
The action grants a specified role to a user, group, domain, or anyone. State the intended recipient and role clearly.
Will this find the file automatically?
The request should identify the file, or the prompt should describe how Notis can find the intended file before changing sharing.
Can this be scheduled?
A recurring schedule is available as a trigger, but a webhook suits individual access requests.
