Check related collection metadata after Drive cleanup
When a Drive source disappears, Notis can fetch a related Apify record to help you see what collection metadata may need attention.
Trigger
File Deleted or Trashed
Triggers when a file is moved to trash or permanently deleted in Drive.
Action
Get Key-Value Record
Tool to retrieve a record from a key-value store. use when you need to fetch a specific value by key from an apify key-value store.
Why this helps
Deleting a source file can leave related collection details unclear across tools.
- Make related collection metadata easier to find after source removal.
- Surface the lookup result in your chosen report channel.
- Reduce manual searching during cleanup.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Drive and Apify once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3Tell Notis which key-value store and record key to retrieve when a source file is removed.
- 4Pick the File Deleted or Trashed trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real deletion or trash event and a known record.
Questions about this workflow
Does this delete anything in Apify?
No. It retrieves a key-value record for context; it does not delete the record or its store.
Where does the record key come from?
Provide the store and key in your instruction or ensure the identifying information is available in the Drive event.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Google Drive to Apify. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Google Drive triggers
Apify actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Create Actor
Tool to create a new actor with specified configuration. use when you need to initialize a fresh actor programmatically before publishing or running it.
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Create Dataset
Tool to create a new dataset. use when you need to initialize or retrieve a dataset by name.
Comment Added (Docs/Sheets/Slides)
Triggers when a new comment is added to Google Docs, Sheets, or Slides.
Create Actor Task
Tool to create a new actor task with specified settings. use when you need to configure or schedule recurring actor runs programmatically.
File Created
Triggers when a new file is created in Google Drive.
Create Task Webhook
Tool to create a webhook for an actor task. use when you need external notifications about task run events (e.g., completion or failure) in downstream systems.
File Deleted or Trashed
Triggers when a file is moved to trash or permanently deleted in Drive.
Delete Actor
Tool to delete an actor permanently. use when you need to remove an actor by its id or username~actorname. confirm before calling.
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.
Delete Webhook
Tool to delete a webhook by its id. use when removing a webhook after confirming the webhook id.
File Updated
Triggers when a file's metadata or content changes in Google Drive.
Get Actor Details
Tool to get details of a specific actor. use when you need actor metadata by id or username/actorname.
Google Drive Changes
Triggers when changes are detected in a Google Drive.
Get all webhooks
Tool to get a list of all webhooks created by the user. use when you need to enumerate webhooks before filtering or maintenance.
