Turn actionable Drive feedback into a contact task

Give feedback a next step while its context is still easy to find.

Trigger

Comment Added (Docs/Sheets/Slides)

Triggers when a new comment is added to Google Docs, Sheets, or Slides.

Action

Create contact task

Create a task associated with a contact in activecampaign. this action allows you to create a new task that will be associated with a specific contact in your activecampaign account. the task can include details such as due date, title, description, and can be assigned to a specific user.

Why this helps

Actionable feedback in document comments can be acknowledged and then forgotten without an assigned follow-up.

  • Turn an actionable comment into a tracked task.
  • Keep feedback follow-up linked to a contact.
  • Avoid task creation for comments without a clear next step.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Google Drive and ActiveCampaign once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation by telling Notis what counts as actionable feedback, how to identify the contact, and what task to create.
  • 3Pick the Google Drive Comment Added trigger.
  • 4Choose where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real feedback comment and matching contact.

Questions about this workflow

Will every comment create a task?

Tell Notis to create a task only when the comment contains an actionable request or commitment.

What if the commenter is not an ActiveCampaign contact?

The action creates a task associated with a contact, so instruct Notis to report when it cannot identify a matching contact.

Add Secondary Contact to Deal

This tool adds a secondary contact to an existing deal in activecampaign. if the deal has no primary contact set, this contact will be set as primary if no role is specified. the tool requires the user to have permission to manage deals and expects parameters like contact id (required), deal id (required), and role id (optional).

TriggerPolling

Create contact

Creates a new contact in activecampaign with the specified details. this action allows you to create a new contact with basic information like email, name, phone, organization details, and tags. the email address is the only required field, while all other fields are optional.

ActionInstant

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.

TriggerPolling
