Verify an Apaleo property ID from a Drive comment
Resolve a property reference while the conversation is already happening in the document.
Trigger
Comment Added (Docs/Sheets/Slides)
Triggers when a new comment is added to Google Docs, Sheets, or Slides.
Action
Check if a property exists
Check if a property exists by id.<br>you need to be authorized (no particular scope required)
Why this helps
A property ID mentioned in a comment can require a separate lookup and a follow-up back to the team.
- Check a referenced property without switching to a separate lookup task.
- Return a clear existence result in the run report.
- Avoid guessing when a comment does not contain a usable ID.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Drive and Apaleo once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it for property ID checks.
- 3Tell Notis to extract an explicitly stated Apaleo property ID from a new comment, check whether it exists, and report the result or missing ID.
- 4Pick the Google Drive Comment Added trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real comment containing a property ID your team is authorized to check.
Questions about this workflow
Does the comment need to include the property ID?
Yes. The listed check action looks up a property by ID. Tell Notis to report when a comment does not provide one.
Will this change the property?
No. It checks whether the property exists and does not create or edit property data.
Can it verify a property name instead?
The listed action checks by ID. Use an explicit property ID in the comment for a grounded lookup.

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.
