Recheck conditions when your facility plan changes
A facility update can shift what you need to know. Let a Drive file change prompt a retrieval of current readings from your Ambient Weather devices.
Trigger
File Updated
Triggers when a file's metadata or content changes 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
Facility decisions can move ahead using a weather check that predates the latest plan revision.
- Refresh conditions context after a plan revision
- Keep review work connected to the updated file
- Avoid a separate reminder to reopen the device dashboard
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 device readings when a facility plan changes.
- 4Pick the Google Drive File Updated trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real facility plan update.
Questions about this workflow
Can the trigger identify which part of the facility plan changed?
The available trigger starts on metadata or content changes, without a section-specific event.
Can Notis evaluate whether the readings are safe?
The action returns device data. It does not provide a safety assessment, so define your criteria in your own instruction or review the readings yourself.

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

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
