Trigger

Action

Trello AI Search Engine

Why this helps

Removing a document can leave linked tasks or project context unresolved unless someone remembers to check.

  • Search Trello after a file is trashed or permanently deleted.
  • Find related cards or boards to review.
  • Make a potentially missed follow-up visible.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Google Drive and Api labz once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation asking Notis to search Trello for work related to a removed file.
  • 3Pick File Deleted or Trashed as the trigger.
  • 4Choose a report channel and test with one real trash or deletion event.

Questions about this workflow

Does the workflow restore the file or change Trello?

No. The action searches Trello for related work and does not restore Drive files or edit Trello.

What if the deleted file's context is limited?

Include any useful title or project context available to Notis. If the file cannot be identified well enough, review the report and supply more context.

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.

File Updated
