Give a reviewer access to the trade record they need
When a review request arrives with a file and recipient, have Notis update its Drive sharing preference for the requested role.
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
Preparing a review can stall while someone locates the file and manually adjusts its sharing access.
- Shorten the handoff to a reviewer.
- Keep access requests tied to a specific file.
- Use the requested sharing role from the request.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Alpaca and Google Drive once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation from Automations or describe it to Notis.
- 3Tell Notis to share the referenced file with the supplied reviewer and role.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and a destination for run reports.
- 5Test with a real request and verify the resulting Drive access.
Questions about this workflow
What does the webhook need to include?
It must identify the Drive file, recipient, and requested role. The recipient and role need to be valid for the sharing action.
Can it share a record with anyone?
The Drive action supports an anyone permission, but ask Notis to grant it only when the request explicitly calls for that access.
