Create a campaign group from a Drive sharing event
A shared launch folder can be the cue to set up the matching ActiveTrail group.
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
Create a New Group
Tool to create a new group in ActiveTrail. Use when you need to add a new group to organize and segment contacts.
Why this helps
A new partner or launch folder can signal a campaign need, but creating the audience group may get lost in setup work.
- Turn a sharing event into a repeatable setup step
- Create a dedicated ActiveTrail group
- Reduce launch preparation overhead
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 create the named ActiveTrail group when the relevant folder receives new sharing permissions.
- 4Pick File Shared as the trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real folder sharing event.
