Set Ayrshare timing from a matching Drive file
Let a matching planning file start a schedule update, with Notis reporting when the file does not say when to post.
Trigger
New File Matching Query
Triggers when a new Google Drive file matches a provided query. This is the legacy query-centric trigger: it preserves Drive API query config such as ``corpora`` / ``driveId`` aliases and emits the historical ``file_matching_query`` event type. ``FileCreatedTrigger`` covers the broader "new file" case and emits ``file_created``.
Action
Set Auto Schedule
Tool to set up an auto-post schedule with specified times and optional weekday filters. use when scheduling posts around a recurring pattern.
Why this helps
A new planning document can arrive without making its next step clear or getting the schedule updated.
- Start from files that match the Drive query you already use.
- Use schedule instructions written in the file.
- Catch missing cadence details before setting a schedule.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Drive and Ayrshare once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3Tell Notis to set the Ayrshare schedule from explicit posting times and weekdays in each matching file, and report if either is missing.
- 4Pick the Google Drive New File Matching Query trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real file that matches your query and includes schedule details.
Questions about this workflow
Can Notis build or change the Drive query?
No. Select the listed New File Matching Query trigger with the query configuration available in your Notis setup.
What happens if the file only describes a campaign?
The instruction asks Notis to report missing schedule details rather than infer times or weekdays.

Set Auto Schedule

File Deleted or Trashed
Triggers when a file is moved to trash or permanently deleted in Drive.
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.
File Updated
Triggers when a file's metadata or content changes in Google Drive.
Google Drive Changes
Triggers when changes are detected in a Google Drive.
