Revisit changing source files with Agenty
When a source file changes, Notis can start the Agenty agent you use to recheck it.
Trigger
File Updated
Triggers when a file's metadata or content changes in Google Drive.
Action
Start Agent Job
Tool to start a new agent job. use when you need to trigger execution of an existing agent.
Why this helps
Updated source material can leave an earlier agent result stale until someone remembers to rerun it.
- React to changes in relevant Drive sources.
- Make reruns part of the source update workflow.
- Reduce reliance on remembering which results may be stale.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Drive and Agenty once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
- 3Tell Notis which Agenty agent to start when the relevant file changes and what source context to use.
- 4Pick File Updated as the trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real file update and review the resulting job.

Fetch all agents
Tool to fetch all active agents under an account. use after authenticating when you need to list agents with pagination and sorting.
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.
Get Agent by ID
Tool to fetch details of a specific agent by its id. use when you need full agent configuration before taking further actions.
File Updated
Triggers when a file's metadata or content changes in Google Drive.
Update Agent by ID
