Check IP Indicators When a Drive File Is Shared

When new permissions are granted to a Drive file, have Notis check the IP indicators it contains.

Trigger

File Shared (Permissions Added)

Triggers when new sharing permissions are granted to a file or folder. Uses Drive's `changes.list` endpoint with inline `permissions` in the `fields` mask so each change carries the file's current permission set provider-atomically. We diff that against `seen_permission_keys` to identify newly added grants. Drive page tokens are the primary cursor; if Drive rejects a stored token, the trigger raises `PollingTriggerError` without clearing state rather than silently re-baselining and dropping events. Limitation: truly ephemeral permissions (added and revoked between two polls without any other file modification in between) are not detected. Drive Activity API would catch those but requires an additional OAuth scope and a different payload contract.

Action

Check IP Reputation

Tool to check the reputation of an ip address. use when you need to determine if an ip address has been reported for abusive activity within a specified look-back period. example: checkip(ipaddress='8.8.8.8', maxageindays=90).

Why this helps

Sharing a threat-related file can prompt follow-up, but its indicators may still need a separate reputation check.

  • Start a review when Drive reports new sharing permissions.
  • Check IP indicators present in the shared file with Abuselpdb.
  • Keep the result available in the run report for follow-up.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Google Drive and Abuselpdb once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in the portal with a name and prompt, or tell Notis what you want from any channel.
  • 3In one instruction, ask Notis to check IP addresses in the newly shared file with Abuselpdb.
  • 4Pick the File Shared trigger and choose where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real file containing an IP address and grant a new sharing permission.

Questions about this workflow

Does this workflow change file permissions?

No. The Drive event starts the workflow; the selected Abuselpdb action checks IP reputation.

Can it determine whether the recipient is authorized?

The listed event reports new sharing permissions. It does not establish whether a recipient is authorized, so provide any relevant review criteria in your instruction.
