Share a reviewed market report with the right collaborator
Once a market report is ready to share, process a specific access request without searching through Drive settings.
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
Sharing the right report with the right collaborator can become a distracting series of permission steps.
- Process a specific access request for an existing report.
- Grant the role and recipient named in the request.
- Keep the report ready for collaboration in Drive.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Census bureau and Google Drive once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name the sharing workflow.
- 3Tell Notis to use the incoming request to locate the existing report and grant the specified role to the named user or group only after your approval process.
- 4Pick a webhook trigger, select where run reports go, and test with one real example.
Questions about this workflow
Does this create the report too?
No. This workflow changes sharing for an existing Drive file. Create and review the report separately before requesting access changes.
Can it grant access to anyone with the link?
The Drive action supports an anyone permission, but use it only when the request explicitly calls for that access level.
