Bring template options into a Drive comment discussion

Keep design follow-up close to the discussion: a new comment can prompt Notis to look through Bannerbear templates and report relevant options.

Trigger

Comment Added (Docs/Sheets/Slides)

Triggers when a new comment is added to Google Docs, Sheets, or Slides.

Action

List Templates

This action retrieves a list of all templates available in your bannerbear project. it returns an array of template objects including properties like uid, name, dimensions, creation and update timestamps, template type, preview url, and modifications. the tool is used for listing templates, retrieving template uids for subsequent actions such as image or video creation, and managing project templates.

Why this helps

Creative requests buried in document comments are easy to miss when you need to separately open another tool to find a starting layout.

  • Turn a comment into a prompt for reviewing available templates.
  • Keep template discovery connected to the document discussion.
  • Receive a concise report in the channel you choose.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Google Drive and Bannerbear once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in the portal or tell Notis in plain language from any channel.
  • 3Ask Notis to review the new comment and document context, then list potentially relevant Bannerbear templates.
  • 4Pick the Comment Added trigger and choose where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real comment on a Google Doc, Sheet, or Slide.

Questions about this workflow

Will Notis update or reply to the comment?

No. The available Bannerbear action lists templates, and this workflow reports possible options; it does not post a Drive comment.

Which Drive files can start this?

The Comment Added event applies to Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides.

ActionInstant

File Created

TriggerPolling

Get Template Set Details

This tool retrieves detailed information about a specific template set using its unique identifier (uid). template sets are sets of templates that you group together in the bannerbear dashboard. it provides comprehensive details about the template set including its name, available modifications, and the list of templates inside the set.

ActionInstant

File Deleted or Trashed

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

TriggerPolling

Join PDFs

This tool allows users to merge multiple pdf files into a single pdf document by accepting an array of pdf urls, sending a post request to the bannerbear api, and returning the unique identifier, status, and url of the merged pdf.

ActionInstant

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
