Bring current device readings into a new operations file review
A fresh operations file may need a quick look at current conditions. Have Notis retrieve the latest Ambient Weather readings when the file is created.
Trigger
File Created
Triggers when a new file is created in Google Drive.
Action
Get Devices
Tool to retrieve a list of user's ambient weather devices with their most recent data. use when you need to list your stations and view their latest readings.
Why this helps
A new planning file can sit waiting while you remember to open a separate weather dashboard and check conditions.
- Tie a new planning artifact to a timely conditions check
- Reduce the memory burden of opening a separate dashboard
- Review the latest data your connected devices provide
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Drive and Ambient Weather once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, then New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3Describe in one instruction how to retrieve current device readings when a new operations file is created.
- 4Pick the Google Drive File Created trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real operations file.
Questions about this workflow
Can this distinguish an operations file from every other new file?
The listed trigger starts when a new file is created. Notis does not provide user-built filters in this setup flow, so state the intended context in your instruction and test with a representative file.
Does it analyze past weather trends?
No. The available action retrieves devices with their most recent data. Historical trend analysis is not available through this action.

Comment Added (Docs/Sheets/Slides)
Triggers when a new comment is added to Google Docs, Sheets, or Slides.
File Created
Triggers when a new file is created in Google Drive.
File Deleted or Trashed
Triggers when a file is moved to trash or permanently deleted in Drive.
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.
File Updated
Triggers when a file's metadata or content changes in Google Drive.
Google Drive Changes
Triggers when changes are detected in a Google Drive.
