Route completed PDFs to their reviewer
When a CloudPDF event identifies a Drive file and reviewer, Notis can grant that person the requested access role.
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
You lose time finding a finished document and adding the right reviewer manually.
- Reduce manual permission updates
- Act on reviewer details included in the event
- Keep access changes tied to document completion
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect CloudPDF and Google Drive once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, then New Automation.
- 3Tell Notis to share the identified Drive file with the reviewer and role supplied in the webhook, and to report missing file IDs or recipients.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with a real event and a non-sensitive Drive file; confirm the recipient and role.
