Grant Drive access when a Better Stack alert arrives
When an alert needs another responder, let Notis update sharing on the incident file you identify.
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
Finding the right incident file and granting responder access adds friction during an already busy response.
- Reduce access setup steps during incident response
- Grant a defined role to a specified user or group
- Keep responders focused on the incident
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Better Stack and Google Drive once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create a new automation by telling Notis in plain language or using Automations, New Automation in the portal.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to use the incoming alert and the file, recipient, and role you provide to update sharing on that existing Google Drive file.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real alert and a Drive file where the recipient and access role are clear.
Questions about this workflow
Does this create a new Drive file?
No. It updates sharing on an existing Google Drive file, so the alert or your instruction must identify the file.
Can it decide who should receive access?
Provide the intended user, group, domain, or anyone setting and the role in the webhook or instruction. Notis should not guess missing recipients or access levels.
What starts the automation?
A Notis webhook starts it when an HTTP request includes the relevant Better Stack alert context.
