Give the right reporter access to the investigation
When a reporter needs visibility, share the relevant Drive file with the specified person and role.
Trigger

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
People who reported a bug can be left waiting for updates because investigation materials are shared manually and inconsistently.
- Speeds up access for a specified reporter.
- Keeps sharing tied to the relevant investigation.
- Reduces manual permission follow-up.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Bugherd and Google Drive once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation from Automations, New Automation, and name it for reporter access.
- 3Tell Notis to share the specified Drive file with the reporter and grant only the role stated in the request.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and a destination for run reports.
- 5Test with one real issue, file identifier, reporter address, and intended role.
Questions about this workflow
Does this workflow choose who should receive access?

Can it share a file when the Drive file is unknown?
