Include a disaster snapshot in removal reports
Add a broader environmental snapshot to a Drive removal report when you have a continent code to check.
Trigger
File Deleted or Trashed
Triggers when a file is moved to trash or permanently deleted in Drive.
Action
Retrieve latest natural disasters by continent
Tool to retrieve latest natural disaster data for a specific continent. use when you need up-to-date disaster information by continent code.
Why this helps
A deletion event can prompt administrative follow-up, and separate situational checks may get lost in the cleanup.
- Retrieve latest disaster data for a specified continent.
- Keep the required continent code explicit in the automation instruction.
- Include the Drive removal event context in one report.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Drive and Ambee once in the Notis portal and provide the intended continent code in the automation instruction.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a clear name.
- 3Tell Notis to retrieve the latest natural disasters for that continent when a Drive item is removed and summarize the returned information.
- 4Choose the File Deleted or Trashed trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real removal event and verify the continent code and report.
Questions about this workflow
Does this tell me why a file was deleted?
No. It reports the Drive removal event and the latest disaster data returned for the specified continent.
Where does the continent code come from?
Provide a supported continent code in the automation instruction or other available context.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Google Drive to Ambee. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Google Drive triggers
Ambee actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Get Air Quality by City
Tool to retrieve real-time air quality data for a specific city. use when you have a valid city name and need current aqi and pollutant levels.
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Get Air Quality by Latitude and Longitude
Tool to retrieve real-time air quality data for a specific latitude and longitude. use when you need hyper-local air quality readings for given coordinates.
Comment Added (Docs/Sheets/Slides)
Triggers when a new comment is added to Google Docs, Sheets, or Slides.
Get Air Quality Forecast by Latitude and Longitude
Tool to retrieve air quality forecast for a specific latitude and longitude. use when you need predicted air quality data up to 48 hours in advance based on geographic coordinates.
File Created
Triggers when a new file is created in Google Drive.
Get Wildfire Risk Forecast by Place
Tool to retrieve wildfire risk forecast for a specific place. use when you need weekly wildfire risk predictions for a location over the next four weeks.
File Deleted or Trashed
Triggers when a file is moved to trash or permanently deleted in Drive.
Geocode by Place
Tool to transform a place name or address into geographic coordinates. use after confirming the location name to get precise latitude and longitude.
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 Air Quality by City
Tool to retrieve real-time air quality data for a specific city. use after obtaining a valid city name when current aqi and pollutant levels are needed.
File Updated
Triggers when a file's metadata or content changes in Google Drive.
Get Air Quality by Country Code
Tool to retrieve real-time air quality data for a specific country using a 3-letter iso code. use after acquiring the country code and when you want a national overview of air quality.
Google Drive Changes
Triggers when changes are detected in a Google Drive.
Get Air Quality by Latitude and Longitude
Tool to retrieve real-time air quality data for a specific latitude and longitude. use when you need hyper-local air quality readings for given coordinates.
