Pair a new site log with a current device readings check
When a site log is created, Notis can retrieve the latest Ambient Weather readings so the new record can be reviewed with current context.
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 site log can be ready for review while the conditions check that gives it context remains on someone's to do list.
- Tie new site records to a current device check
- Reduce manual follow-up after a log is created
- Review available readings alongside operational notes
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 the latest readings when a new site log is created.
- 4Pick the Google Drive File Created trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real site log file.
Questions about this workflow
Can it attach readings to the site log?
No. The listed action retrieves device data, but there is no Drive update action in this package.
Can this run only for site logs?
The listed File Created trigger covers new Drive files. State the intended context in the instruction and test with a representative site log.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Google Drive to Ambient weather. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Google Drive triggers
Ambient weather actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
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.
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
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.
