Action
Get Webpage Content
Tool to retrieve rendered content of a webpage in html or markdown format. use when you need to fetch a page’s full content, optionally within an existing browser session.
Why this helps
Drive changes can prompt follow-up research, but the right reference page is easy to lose among open tabs and competing tasks.
- Reconnect a Drive change to a named online reference.
- Cut down on time spent finding the relevant page again.
- Create a simple review step around changing Drive work.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Drive and Anchor browser once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it for the reference review.
- 3Tell Notis which webpage to retrieve when Drive changes are detected.
- 4Choose Google Drive Changes as the trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real Drive change and check that the expected page content is returned.

Get Profile
Tool to fetch details for a specific browser profile by id. use after you know the profile id and need its settings and session information.
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.
