Give the right collaborator access to a video review file
When a review request identifies the file and collaborator, Notis can update its sharing preference in Drive.
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
Review handoffs stall when a collaborator cannot open the file and someone has to stop to fix access.
- Reduce access-related review delays
- Handle sharing from a clear request
- Keep file access tied to the intended collaborator

- 1Connect Google Drive once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation that grants the requested role to the named collaborator on the specified file.
- 3Choose the webhook trigger and where run reports should go.
- 4Test with a real review file and collaborator who should have access.
