Check a request collection when a Drive file arrives

Drop in a file that identifies a collection and have Notis return its request list for review.

Trigger

File Created

Triggers when a new file is created in Google Drive.

Action

List Collection Requests

Tool to list all requests in a collection (paginated). use when you need to paginate through requests for a specific collection.

Why this helps

A new planning or handoff file can signal work that is easy to miss when the related request collection lives elsewhere.

  • Use a new Drive file as a prompt to review the related collection.
  • Get a request list in the run report.
  • Keep collection review connected to the planning material in Drive.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Google Drive and Asin data api once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
  • 3Tell Notis to read the new file for a collection identifier, list that collection's requests, and report the results.
  • 4Pick the File Created trigger and choose where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real file that identifies a collection.

Questions about this workflow

Does the file need a particular format?

The event only guarantees that a new file was created. Include a clear collection identifier in content Notis can read; no special file format is specified here.

Does this workflow create requests in Asin data api?

No. Its action lists existing requests in the identified collection.

Can it tell me which requests changed?

Not from a single list alone. A prior baseline or history would be needed for change detection.

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.

TriggerPolling

File Updated

Triggers when a file's metadata or content changes in Google Drive.
