Action
Update Permission
Tool to update a permission with patch semantics. use when you need to modify an existing permission for a file or shared drive.
Why this helps
A collaborator's access can become outdated when project responsibilities change and Drive permissions are left untouched.
- Keep an existing permission aligned with current responsibilities.
- Apply a clearly specified role change.
- Reduce manual access review steps.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Basecamp and Google Drive once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create a named automation in Automations, then New Automation.
- 3Tell Notis to update the specified existing Drive permission to the requested role when an access change request is submitted.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and a destination for run reports.
- 5Test with one real permission change request.
Questions about this workflow
Does this add a new collaborator?
No. It updates an existing permission. Use an access request that identifies the file, permission, and requested role.
Can it decide the correct access role automatically?
The request should state the intended role. Notis should not infer access needs from incomplete project context.
