Grant Drive access when an agent requests it
Turn a clear access request into a Drive sharing change, with run reports sent where you choose.
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 can sit in messages while you switch into Drive to handle them manually.
- Handle file access requests closer to where they arise.
- Specify the file, recipient, and role in the request.
- Keep a run report for visibility into automation activity.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Api labz and Google Drive once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation that uses the incoming request to share the specified file with the specified recipient and role.
- 3Choose the Notis webhook trigger and a channel for run reports.
- 4Test with one real request for a file and recipient you can verify.
Questions about this workflow
Which access roles can this action grant?
The action grants a specified role to a user, group, domain, or anyone. State the intended recipient and role in the request.
Can it share any file automatically?
The request needs to identify the file and intended recipient. Test with a real example and review the run report.
