Grant file access as a Bika handoff arrives
Cut the extra step of finding a file and changing its sharing settings after a handoff.
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 hold up work when file permissions are handled separately from the handoff.
- Reduce manual permission updates
- Keep access changes tied to handoff context
- Grant a specified role to a user, group, domain, or anyone
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Bika.ai and Google Drive once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis what result you want.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to grant the specified role on the specified file to the intended recipient from the incoming payload.
- 4Choose the Notis webhook trigger and where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real handoff and verify the resulting access.
Questions about this workflow
What information must the webhook request include?
It should provide the Drive file identifier, recipient, and intended role. Notis can only use values supplied in the request or otherwise available to it.
Can this grant public access?
The Drive action supports an anyone permission, but use it only when that access level is explicitly intended.
