Instant Access to Google Drive Upon Approval
Approval webhook received? Notis instantly shares the relevant Google Drive folder with the approved user or team. No manual permission setting—access is ready the moment they're approved.
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
Approval workflows often happen in external systems, but granting access to Google Drive happens manually afterward. Founders forget to share, and new collaborators wait for access. This delay slows down collaboration and creates frustration.
- Access granted instantly upon approval
- No manual sharing delays
- Approved parties ready to collaborate immediately
- Streamlined onboarding workflow
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Drive to Notis.
- 2Create an automation: 'When an approval webhook arrives, automatically grant access to the relevant Google Drive folder for the approved party.'
- 3Specify which folder and what level of access (view, comment, edit).
- 4Test by triggering an approval and confirming access appears.
Questions about this workflow
How does Notis know which folder to share?
You specify it in the prompt, or Notis can infer based on the webhook data.
Can I set different permissions for different roles?
Yes. Specify role-based access levels in the automation.
What if the user doesn't have a Google account yet?
Notis will send an invitation; they can accept when ready.
