Handle project folder access requests with less back and forth
Submit an access request and have Notis identify the specified folder, person, and role before granting Drive access.
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 while someone manually locates the folder and repeats the details in Drive.
- Use the folder, recipient, and role stated in the request.
- Reduce repeated copying of access details.
- Keep the access operation tied to the request context.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Aryn and Google Drive once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3Tell Notis to use Aryn to identify the Drive folder, recipient email, and access role stated in the request, then grant that access; if any detail is unclear, report it for review instead of guessing.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real request and verify the recipient and role.
Questions about this workflow
Can it decide what access role someone should get?
The request should state the role. Ask Notis to flag requests without a clear role.
Does it create a folder?
No. This workflow updates sharing access for an existing Drive item.
