Why this helps

A deleted source file can leave uncertainty about related data work and where it was organized.

  • List Airtable tables after a Drive file is removed.
  • Make relevant data structures visible for follow-up.
  • Reduce manual searching during cleanup.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Google Drive and Api labz once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation instructing Notis to list tables in the relevant Airtable base for a removed file.
  • 3Pick File Deleted or Trashed as the trigger.
  • 4Choose where run reports go and test with one real removal event.

Questions about this workflow

Does this delete or clean up Airtable data?

No. The Api labz action lists table names only. It does not change Airtable records or tables.

What base should I specify?

Name the Airtable base that supports the related process in your instruction.

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.
