Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
List Changes
Tool to list the changes for a user or shared drive. use when you need to track modifications to files and folders, such as creations, deletions, or permission changes. this action requires a `pagetoken` which can be initially obtained using the `get changes start page token` action or from a previous `list changes` response.
Why this helps
Changes to a reviewed file or its access can be missed between manual checks.
- Make later file changes visible to the review process.
- Reduce reliance on remembering to revisit old cases.
- Keep change findings in a run report.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Borneo and Google Drive once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name the change tracking workflow.
- 3Describe: use the supplied Drive page token to list changes, compare them with the Borneo review context, and report relevant changes and any token needed for the next run.
- 4Pick a recurring schedule and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with a real starting page token and confirm the reported changes.
Questions about this workflow
Where does the starting page token come from?
Use Google Drive's Get Changes Start Page Token action to obtain the initial token before listing future changes.
Does this automatically keep and advance the token?
The workflow must receive a valid starting token or a prior token. Confirm how your automation run supplies the next token for subsequent checks.
