Why this helps
A revised source document can change the next data task, but you may not remember which Airtable tables are available.
- Retrieve Airtable table names after a Drive edit.
- Keep available destinations visible during a review.
- Reduce the effort of a separate table lookup.

- 1Connect Google Drive and Api labz once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation that asks Notis to list tables for the relevant Airtable base after an update.
- 3Pick File Updated as the trigger.
- 4Choose a report channel and test with one real file update.

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.
