Share a research brief with its reviewer

When a brief is ready, send a request to give the intended reviewer access 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

Finished research can sit idle when sharing it requires another manual follow up.

  • Move a completed brief into review faster.
  • Reduce the chance of forgetting to grant access.
  • Keep the handoff tied to a specific request.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Autom and Google Drive once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name the research sharing workflow.
  • 3Tell Notis to use the existing file and reviewer details in the webhook request to grant the requested Drive sharing role.
  • 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real file and reviewer who should receive access.

Questions about this workflow

Does this create the research brief?

No. It changes sharing on an existing file. The request must identify the file and intended reviewer.

Can it grant anyone access?

The action supports different sharing targets, including anyone. Specify the intended access carefully in the request.
