Create Ascora quotations from updated scope documents
When project scope changes in Drive, Notis can help turn a clear pricing request into an Ascora quotation while flagging anything that needs a human decision.
Trigger
File Updated
Triggers when a file's metadata or content changes in Google Drive.
Action
Create Quotation
Tool to create a new quotation. use when submitting a customer quote request via the ascora api.
Why this helps
Scope changes in shared files can trigger quote work, but someone still has to notice the update and carry it into Ascora.
- Notice scope changes without repeatedly checking files.
- Create quotations only when an update clearly requests pricing.
- Keep uncertain scope changes visible for review.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Drive and Ascora once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation and instruct Notis to review changed scope documents and create a quotation only for clear, sufficiently detailed quote requests.
- 3Pick the File Updated trigger.
- 4Choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real scope update and review the result.
Questions about this workflow
What starts the workflow?
A metadata or content change to a Google Drive file.
Will any edit create a quotation?
No. The instruction should require a clear request for pricing and enough customer and scope information before creating a quotation.
Can Notis compare the current version with earlier scope or quote history?
The listed Ascora actions do not provide quotation history or a baseline. Supply needed comparison details in the prompt or document, or ask for review when context is missing.

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.
