Get the definition behind a spec change
Bring the current Amplitude definition into view when the Drive spec for that event is updated.
Trigger
File Updated
Triggers when a file's metadata or content changes in Google Drive.
Action
Get Amplitude Event Type
Get a specific event type from amplitude by name. this action allows you to: - retrieve detailed information about a single event type - get all properties and metadata for the event key features: - retrieves comprehensive event type details - returns metadata like category, description, and settings - supports lookup by exact event name
Why this helps
A reviewer may need to open Amplitude separately just to confirm the current definition of an event discussed in a spec.
- Bring event metadata into a spec review.
- Reduce manual lookup across tools.
- Make mismatches easier to spot while editing.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Drive and Amplitude once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it for event definition lookup.
- 3Tell Notis to read the updated spec, retrieve the named event type from Amplitude, and summarize its current metadata beside the documented details.
- 4Choose File Updated as the trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real spec update naming an existing event type.
Questions about this workflow
What if the spec does not name an event?
The action requires an event name to retrieve a specific type. Ask Notis to report that the name is missing.
Does this modify the Amplitude event?
No. It retrieves details for review.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Google Drive to Amplitude. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Google Drive triggers
Amplitude actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Check Amplitude Cohort Status
Check the status of a cohort export request. this action allows you to: - poll the status of an in-progress cohort download request - determine if a cohort is ready for download
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Create Amplitude Event Category
Create a new event category in amplitude. this action allows you to: - create a new event category to organize event types - validate category name before creation key features: - creates event categories for organizing events - returns success/failure status
Comment Added (Docs/Sheets/Slides)
Triggers when a new comment is added to Google Docs, Sheets, or Slides.
Create Amplitude Event Type
Create a new event type in amplitude. this action allows you to: - define a new event type with various properties - associate the event with a category - add metadata like description, tags, and owner key features: - creates trackable events in your amplitude project - supports full event type configuration
File Created
Triggers when a new file is created in Google Drive.
Delete Amplitude Event Category
Delete an event category from amplitude. this action allows you to: - delete an existing event category - remove category organization from events key features: - permanently removes event categories - returns success/failure status
File Deleted or Trashed
Triggers when a file is moved to trash or permanently deleted in Drive.
Delete Amplitude Event Type
Delete an event type from amplitude. this action allows you to: - remove an event type from your project - mark live events as deleted - remove planned events from the tracking plan key features: - different behavior based on event status (live, planned, etc.) - returns success/failure status
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.
Request Amplitude Cohort
Get a single cohort by id and initiate download. this action allows you to: - request a specific cohort from amplitude - optionally include user properties in the response - start the asynchronous download process key features: - supports filtering by specific user properties - returns a request id used for polling status and downloading - supports eu data residency
File Updated
Triggers when a file's metadata or content changes in Google Drive.
Get Amplitude Event Categories
Get event categories from amplitude. this action allows you to: - get all event categories in your project - get a specific category by name
Google Drive Changes
Triggers when changes are detected in a Google Drive.
Get Amplitude Event Type
Get a specific event type from amplitude by name. this action allows you to: - retrieve detailed information about a single event type - get all properties and metadata for the event key features: - retrieves comprehensive event type details - returns metadata like category, description, and settings - supports lookup by exact event name
