Send query-matched Drive leads to ActiveTrail

Let a Drive search rule catch the right new lead files and keep your group updated.

Trigger

New File Matching Query

Triggers when a new Google Drive file matches a provided query. This is the legacy query-centric trigger: it preserves Drive API query config such as ``corpora`` / ``driveId`` aliases and emits the historical ``file_matching_query`` event type. ``FileCreatedTrigger`` covers the broader "new file" case and emits ``file_created``.

Action

Create or Update Group Member

Tool to create or update a member in a group. Use when you need to add a new contact to a specific group or update an existing member's details. The API will not return errors if the address is already in the group.

Why this helps

Leads that match a specific Drive search can be easy to overlook amid unrelated files.

  • Use a query-based Drive trigger
  • Reduce manual review of matching files
  • Keep chosen ActiveTrail members up to date

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Google Drive and ActiveTrail once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in the portal, or tell Notis from any channel to create one.
  • 3In one instruction, ask Notis to read matching lead files and create or update their contacts in your specified ActiveTrail group.
  • 4Pick New File Matching Query as the trigger and choose where run reports go.
  • 5Test with one real file that matches your query.

Questions about this workflow

What does this trigger match?

It starts when a new Drive file matches the query configured for this legacy query-centric trigger.

Create Contact

Tool to create a new contact in ActiveTrail. Use when you need to add a new contact to the system. Note: Newly created contacts won't be linked to any group, making email/SMS delivery impossible until assigned to a group. Either email or sms must be provided.

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.
