Turn a Drive comment into a technical indicator check
When a teammate flags a stock question in a comment, get a focused indicator result without starting a separate research session.
Trigger
Comment Added (Docs/Sheets/Slides)
Triggers when a new comment is added to Google Docs, Sheets, or Slides.
Action
Technical Indicator
Tool to fetch technical indicators for the specified equity or currency pair. use after obtaining time series to compute moving averages or oscillators.
Why this helps
A stock question buried in a document comment can sit unanswered while the discussion moves on.
- Connect a discussion point to a specific indicator lookup.
- Keep the question and its run report associated with the same work context.
- Surface missing symbol or indicator details before a result is summarized.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Drive and Alpha Vantage once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or tell Notis from any channel what outcome you want.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to read new comments for a clearly named symbol and requested technical indicator, fetch the result, and flag missing details.
- 4Pick the Google Drive Comment Added trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real comment that includes a symbol and indicator request.
Questions about this workflow
Can a comment just say a company name?
For a reliable lookup, include the market symbol and the indicator requested. If either is missing or ambiguous, instruct Notis to ask for clarification instead of assuming.
Does this calculate an indicator from document data?
The workflow uses Alpha Vantage's Technical Indicator action. It does not treat document content as a price history or baseline unless the instruction explicitly supplies relevant context.

Global Coffee Price
Tool to retrieve the global coffee price series. use when you need historical monthly, quarterly, or annual coffee prices.
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.
