Get a suggested reply when a Drive comment arrives

Comments can create a string of small decisions. Get a response draft that keeps the question and its document context in view.

Trigger

Comment Added (Docs/Sheets/Slides)

Triggers when a new comment is added to Google Docs, Sheets, or Slides.

Action

Create Message

Tool to create a new message completion. use when you need to generate assistant text given a conversation history.

Why this helps

Comment threads are easy to lose track of when you are switching between documents and other work.

  • See a reply draft close to the incoming comment.
  • Keep the comment's question in focus while deciding what to say.
  • Spend less time reopening documents to recover context.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Google Drive and Anthropic administrator once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name and prompt.
  • 3In one instruction, ask Notis to draft a concise reply using the new comment and any returned document context, without posting it.
  • 4Pick the Google Drive Comment Added trigger and choose where run reports go.
  • 5Test with one real comment and review the draft.

Questions about this workflow

Does this post a reply to the comment?

No. The selected Anthropic action creates message text. Review the draft and post it yourself.

Will it know context that is not returned with the comment?

Only context available to the automation can be used. Ask Notis to identify missing information instead of guessing.

File Deleted or Trashed

TriggerPolling

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.
