Keep related Drive notes in sync with changed references
When a reference changes, update the corresponding Drive note's metadata with the latest context.
Trigger
Message Edited
Triggered when an existing message in a monitored Discord channel is edited.
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 changed announcement or reference leaves Drive notes with stale descriptions and context.
- Refresh descriptions when a referenced update changes.
- Keep the relationship between chat context and Drive notes visible.
- Avoid manually checking every related note.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Discord and Google Drive once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3Tell Notis how to identify the related Drive file and to update only its metadata description with the latest stated context after a relevant message edit.
- 4Pick Message Edited as the trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real edit that clearly identifies a related Drive file.
