Get the right teammate into the onboarding folder sooner
When an onboarding request identifies its owner, have Notis grant that person the intended access to the related Drive folder.
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
Teams lose time when folder access has to be requested and granted by hand.
- Reduces access delays during member handoffs.
- Applies the role specified in the request.
- Keeps the sharing action attached to an onboarding workflow.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Brilliant Directories and Google Drive once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it for onboarding folder access.
- 3Tell Notis to grant the specified user the requested role on the identified member folder, using only the folder and recipient details provided.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real example and verify the recipient and role in Drive.
Questions about this workflow
Can the workflow decide who should receive access?
The request must identify the recipient and intended role, or your instruction must provide a reliable rule. The directory app has no listed trigger events here.
Can it share a folder that does not exist yet?
This action modifies sharing for an existing Drive file or folder. Create or identify the folder before this sharing step runs.
