- Surface likely overlaps before work begins.
- Get a concise review in your chosen report channel.
Setup

- 1Connect Google Drive and Agility CMS once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or tell Notis to create one from any channel.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to compare new brief files with the relevant Agility CMS content list and report related entries, possible overlaps, and gaps.
- 4Pick the Google Drive File Created trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real brief file and review the report.

File Deleted or Trashed

Get Content Models
Tool to retrieve content models and page modules. use when you need schema definitions to dynamically build content structures.
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 Logs
Tool to retrieve sync items (logs) from agility cms. use after initial full sync to fetch updates.
File Updated
Triggers when a file's metadata or content changes in Google Drive.
