Keep Drive reference details aligned with Confluence space changes
When a space name or description changes, Notis can refresh the metadata on its related Drive reference file.
Trigger
Space Details Changed
Triggers when a Confluence space's details change (name, description, status, owner, icon, etc.).
Action
Update File (Metadata)
Updates file metadata. uses patch semantics (partial update) as per google drive api v3. use this tool to modify attributes of an existing file like its name, description, or parent folders. note: this action currently supports metadata updates only. file content updates require multipart/related upload and are not yet implemented.
Why this helps
A renamed or updated space can leave related Drive files carrying outdated context that confuses collaborators.
- Keep a related file description aligned with current space information.
- Reduce manual cleanup after space details are edited.
- Give collaborators clearer context when they open a Drive file.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Confluence and Google Drive once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
- 3In one instruction, describe how to identify the related Drive file and update its metadata using the available changed space details.
- 4Choose the Space Details Changed trigger, select a report channel, and test with a real space change and file.
Questions about this workflow
Can this rename or edit the Drive file content?
This workflow uses the metadata update action. Ask for a supported metadata change, such as the file description; it does not overwrite file content.
How does Notis know which file belongs to the space?
Your instruction needs to supply a reliable matching rule or identifier available from the event and Drive search.
