Review Appcircle publish activity when a release file is shared
Sharing a release file can be a useful cue to check recent publishing activity. Notis retrieves the Appcircle report for your review.
Trigger
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.
Action
Get Publish Activity Report
Retrieve the publish activity report for your organization. Returns paginated list of publish activities with filtering options by date range, platform, action type, and organization. Use this to monitor and audit publish operations across profiles.
Why this helps
Release documents may reach collaborators while publishing activity remains scattered across another tool.
- Pair a release file share with a publish activity lookup.
- Make publishing history easier to review during handoffs.
- Reduce the chance that a release share passes without an activity check.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Drive and Appcircle once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation and name it for release sharing reviews.
- 3Tell Notis to retrieve the Appcircle publish activity report when new sharing permissions are granted to a release file in Drive.
- 4Pick the Drive File Shared trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real file share.
Questions about this workflow
Does sharing a Drive file trigger a publish operation?
No. It retrieves a publish activity report for review and does not publish or deploy anything.
What Drive event is used?
The File Shared event, which detects new sharing permissions on a file or folder.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Google Drive to Appcircle. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Google Drive triggers
Appcircle actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Standard Repo Webhook Callback
Trigger Appcircle builds via Git provider webhook callbacks. This action forwards webhook payloads from GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, or Azure DevOps to Appcircle's build webhook endpoint to automatically trigger builds when code is pushed. Use this action when: - Simulating or testing webhook-triggered builds - Programmatically triggering builds using webhook payloads - Integrating custom CI/CD workflows that need to trigger Appcircle builds - Replaying or debugging webhook events Requirements: - The organization must exist and have webhook integration configured in Appcircle - Build profiles must be set up with repository connections - The webhook URL pattern is: https://api.appcircle.io/build/v1/callback/hooks/{provider}/{org_id}/V7 Note: The action returns the raw HTTP response including status code and response body, allowing you to handle success, validation errors, or authentication issues appropriately.
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Custom Integration Webhook Callback
Triggers Appcircle builds via custom integration webhook endpoint by forwarding Git provider webhook payloads. This action is designed to receive and forward webhook payloads from Git providers (GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, Azure DevOps) to Appcircle's build system. The webhook URL format and parameters (organization_id, integration_id, version) are provided by Appcircle when you configure custom integrations for repositories connected via SSH or public URL in the build profile settings. Use this action when: - You need to programmatically trigger Appcircle builds from Git provider webhook events - Testing webhook integrations with different payload structures - Implementing custom CI/CD workflows that forward webhook events to Appcircle Note: The organization_id and integration_id values must correspond to actual configurations in Appcircle. Test payloads will typically return 400/404 errors indicating no valid configuration exists for the provided IDs.
Comment Added (Docs/Sheets/Slides)
Triggers when a new comment is added to Google Docs, Sheets, or Slides.
List Distribution Profiles
List all distribution profiles for the authenticated organization. Distribution profiles are used to manage and distribute app builds to testers. This endpoint supports pagination, sorting, and filtering by profile name. Use this when you need to retrieve available distribution profiles.
File Created
Triggers when a new file is created in Google Drive.
Get Distribution Sent Profiles
Get distinct profile names for App Sharing Report filter. Returns a list of unique profile names that can be used to filter app sharing reports within the specified date range and organization. Use this to discover available profile names before querying detailed sharing reports.
File Deleted or Trashed
Triggers when a file is moved to trash or permanently deleted in Drive.
Get Publish Activity Report
Retrieve the publish activity report for your organization. Returns paginated list of publish activities with filtering options by date range, platform, action type, and organization. Use this to monitor and audit publish operations across profiles.

List Build Profiles
List all build profiles for the authenticated organization. Build profiles define the configuration for building mobile applications. Use this to discover available build profiles and their IDs before triggering builds or configuring webhooks.
File Updated
Triggers when a file's metadata or content changes in Google Drive.
List Bundle Identifiers
List all bundle identifiers in Appcircle. Returns all bundle identifiers configured in your organization, including their platforms, capabilities, and associated credentials. Use this to discover available bundle identifiers before managing signing identities or app configurations.
Google Drive Changes
Triggers when changes are detected in a Google Drive.
List Organizations
List organizations accessible to the authenticated user. Returns a paginated list of organizations with their details including ID, name, logo URL, and SSO status. Supports search filtering and pagination controls. Use this to discover available organizations before performing organization-specific operations like managing builds, distributions, or webhooks.
