Turn a new currency brief into an FX history check
A new planning file with a currency pair can trigger a historical rate lookup and a focused summary.
Trigger
File Created
Triggers when a new file is created in Google Drive.
Action
FX Daily Time Series
Tool to fetch daily time series (open, high, low, close) for a currency pair. use after confirming base and quote currency codes to retrieve historical daily fx rates.
Why this helps
Finding historical exchange rates means leaving the planning document and repeating a lookup by hand.
- Start an FX history lookup from a new planning file.
- Use daily open, high, low, and close data returned for the pair.
- Flag incomplete currency codes instead of guessing.
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 the base and quote currency codes from the new file, fetch daily FX history, and summarize the returned series.
- 4Pick the Google Drive File Created trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real file that names both currency codes.
Questions about this workflow
Can I give only one currency code?
The FX Daily Time Series action requires both base and quote currency codes. Have Notis report when either is missing.
Does the action return a current live conversion quote?
The listed action fetches daily historical open, high, low, and close time series. Do not treat it as a guaranteed real-time conversion quote.

Global Coffee Price

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.
