Get the right feedback brief to the right reviewer
When feedback is ready for review, have Notis update sharing on the matching Drive brief for the collaborator you specify.
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
Manual file sharing adds another follow-up step after a feedback item is ready for input.
- Cut the extra step of locating and sharing a brief.
- Route review access when feedback is ready.
- Keep reviewers focused on the relevant artifact.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Canny and Google Drive once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a clear name.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to identify the existing Drive brief for an approved Canny update and grant the specified reviewer the requested role.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with one real example and verify the intended file and access level.
Questions about this workflow
Does this create the Drive brief too?
No. It updates sharing on an existing file. Create the brief separately or ask for a separate workflow.
Who receives access?
Specify the intended user, group, domain, or anyone access and role in the instruction or webhook request. Review carefully before using broad access.
