Tie Drive file removal to vector cleanup

When a source file is trashed, prompt cleanup of the Apipie AI vector data you have identified as linked to it.

Trigger

File Deleted or Trashed

Triggers when a file is moved to trash or permanently deleted in Drive.

Action

Delete Vectors

Tool to delete an entire vector collection or specific vectors. use when you need to remove vector data after identifying your target collection or vectors.

Why this helps

Removing a source file can leave related vector data behind if cleanup depends on a separate reminder.

  • Prompt vector cleanup when a source file is removed.
  • Keep a report of the cleanup action.
  • Use an explicitly supplied link between the Drive file and target vectors.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Google Drive and Apipie AI once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in the portal or tell Notis what you want from any channel.
  • 3Describe the outcome in one instruction: when a Drive file is trashed, delete only its linked Apipie AI vectors using the collection or vector identifiers supplied in the instruction or available to the automation.
  • 4Pick the File Deleted or Trashed trigger and choose where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real file and a known target collection or vector, then review the report.

Questions about this workflow

Will this discover which vectors came from a file?

No. The action deletes a collection or specific vectors after the target is identified. The file-to-vector relationship and identifiers must be supplied or otherwise available.

Does this also run when a file is permanently deleted?

The listed trigger covers a file moved to trash or permanently deleted in Drive.

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.
