Handle file access requests from a webhook
Route a clear access request through Notis and update the specified file's sharing permission in Drive.
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 be delayed when the request details and the file's sharing controls live in different places.
- Reduce manual steps for routine, clearly specified access requests.
- Keep the file and requested recipient together in the request context.
- Use a consistent instruction for role and recipient handling.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Apiverve and Google Drive once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or tell Notis from any channel to create one.
- 3Describe the outcome in one instruction, including how to identify the file, recipient, and requested role.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real request and a file you can safely update.
Questions about this workflow
What details must the request provide?
Notis needs enough information to identify the file, recipient, and role. The action supports a user, group, domain, or anyone.
Can Notis decide who should get access?
Your instruction can ask it to interpret supplied context, but the request or instruction must provide the decision criteria and recipient.
