Start Google ads research from a shared competitor file
When a teammate shares a competitor research file, Notis can look up the company's Google ads and send the findings for review.
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
Get Google Ads By Company
Retrieve all google ads for a given company domain.
Why this helps
A newly shared research file often starts a manual loop of opening the document, extracting a domain, and running a separate ad lookup.
- Uses a file sharing event as a research handoff.
- Looks for a company domain in the shared file context.
- Summarizes returned Google ads for easy review.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Drive and Adyntel once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it for shared competitor research.
- 3Tell Notis to identify a company domain from the shared file context, retrieve Google ads, and summarize results or flag a missing domain.
- 4Pick the File Shared trigger and choose a report channel.
- 5Test with one real competitor file after sharing it.
Questions about this workflow
What counts as a sharing trigger?
The File Shared event runs when new sharing permissions are granted to a Drive file or folder.
Does sharing a file make its contents available to everyone?
The action uses the file context available to the connected Drive account. Existing Drive permissions still govern access.
