Why this helps
Important context gets buried in new documents, leaving you to find time to read and extract what matters.
- See key points without rereading the whole document.
- Keep decisions and follow-ups together in a short summary.
- Reduce the chance that a new document sits unread.
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 summarize each new file into key points, decisions, and follow-ups using Anthropic Create Message.
- 4Pick the Google Drive File Created trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real file and review the generated brief.

Prompt Caching
Tool to cache and reuse prompt content to reduce costs and latency. use after you have static prompt portions you intend to reuse across calls.
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
Triggers when a file's metadata or content changes in Google Drive.
Google Drive Changes
