Verify Australian addresses in new Drive files
Add a file to Drive and let Notis check its Australian address details with Addressfinder.
Trigger
File Created
Triggers when a new file is created in Google Drive.
Action
AU Address Verification
Tool to verify Australian addresses against PAF/GNAF databases. Use when you need to validate or standardize an Australian address and retrieve associated metadata like coordinates, statistical identifiers, and GNAF data.
Why this helps
Address typos in newly submitted documents can lead to failed deliveries and time-consuming corrections.
- Spot incomplete or nonstandard Australian addresses soon after a file is created.
- Get verification results in a run report without switching between Drive and Addressfinder.
- Use the report to decide which records need a human review.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Drive and Addressfinder once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, then New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3Tell Notis to find Australian postal addresses in each new file and verify them with Addressfinder.
- 4Choose File Created as the trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real file containing an Australian address.
Questions about this workflow
Does this edit the file in Google Drive?
The workflow runs Addressfinder verification and reports the result. It does not claim to update the source file.
What if a file contains several addresses?
Tell Notis how to handle multiple matches in your instruction, such as reporting each address for review.
Can this verify addresses outside Australia?
This workflow uses AU Address Verification. Use it for Australian addresses.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Google Drive to Addressfinder. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Google Drive triggers
Addressfinder actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
AU Address Autocomplete
Tool to perform interactive search of Australian addresses from the AddressFinder database. Use when you need to search for and autocomplete Australian addresses based on partial input.
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Get AU Address Metadata
Tool to retrieve full metadata for an Australian address selected from the Address Autocomplete API. Use when you need complete address details including GPS coordinates and census data.
Comment Added (Docs/Sheets/Slides)

AU Address Verification
Tool to verify Australian addresses against PAF/GNAF databases. Use when you need to validate or standardize an Australian address and retrieve associated metadata like coordinates, statistical identifiers, and GNAF data.
File Created
Triggers when a new file is created in Google Drive.
AU Location Autocomplete
Tool to perform interactive autocomplete search for Australian streets, suburbs, and states. Use when you need to find or suggest Australian locations based on partial input.
File Deleted or Trashed
Triggers when a file is moved to trash or permanently deleted in Drive.
Get AU Location Metadata
Tool to retrieve comprehensive metadata for an Australian location (street, suburb, or state) selected from the Location Autocomplete API. Use when you need detailed information about a specific Australian location including coordinates, street details, suburb, state, and postcode.
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.
Email Verification API
Tool to verify email addresses including syntax validation, domain existence, and email account verification. Use when you need to validate an email address before sending messages or storing contact information.
File Updated
Triggers when a file's metadata or content changes in Google Drive.
International Address Autocomplete
Tool to search for international addresses using autocomplete functionality. Use when users need to find and select addresses in supported countries (AU, BE, CA, CZ, DK, FR, DE, IE, NZ, NL, PT, SG, ES, SE, GB, US). Returns address IDs that can be used with the Address Metadata API to retrieve full address details.
Google Drive Changes
Triggers when changes are detected in a Google Drive.
Get International Address Metadata
Tool to retrieve full metadata for an international address selected from the Address Autocomplete API. Use when you need complete address details including street metadata and optional GPS coordinates for addresses outside your primary region.
