Check Anonyflow when Drive sharing changes
A new share can prompt a quick readiness check, so you know whether Anonyflow is reachable before taking the next privacy step.
Trigger
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.
Action
Test Connection
Tool to test the connection to the anonyflow api. use when verifying that the anonyflow service is reachable and operational before performing anonymization tasks. example: `testconnection().execute(testconnectionrequest())`
Why this helps
After sharing access, teams may assume privacy tooling is available and discover connection problems only when they need it.
- Surface Anonyflow availability after a permission change.
- Make connection checks event driven.
- Send the result to a chosen run report channel.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Drive and Anonyflow once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Notis and give it a clear name.
- 3Tell Notis to run an Anonyflow connection test whenever a Drive file or folder receives new sharing permissions and report the result.
- 4Choose the File Shared trigger and select a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with one real file or folder sharing change.
Questions about this workflow
Does this revoke or change the new permission?
No. The available action only tests the Anonyflow connection; it does not manage Google Drive permissions.
What does the Drive event detect?
It triggers when new sharing permissions are granted to a file or folder.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Google Drive to Anonyflow. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Google Drive triggers
Anonyflow actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Anonymize Value
Tool to anonymize a string or array of string values. use when you need to conceal sensitive text before storage or transmission. example: `anonymizevalue().execute(anonymizevaluerequest(data=['secret']))` limitations: only supports list of strings, not nested structures.
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Deanonymize Packet
Tool to deanonymize a json data packet using your private key. use after receiving an anonymized packet to recover specific fields.
Comment Added (Docs/Sheets/Slides)
Triggers when a new comment is added to Google Docs, Sheets, or Slides.
Deanonymize Value
Tool to deanonymize one or more anonymized string values. use when you need to recover the original plaintext values after encryption-based anonymization. example: `deanonymizevalue().execute(deanonymizevaluerequest(data=["<anonymized string>"]))`
File Created
Triggers when a new file is created in Google Drive.
Test Connection
Tool to test the connection to the anonyflow api. use when verifying that the anonyflow service is reachable and operational before performing anonymization tasks. example: `testconnection().execute(testconnectionrequest())`
File Deleted or Trashed
Triggers when a file is moved to trash or permanently deleted in Drive.
