Why this helps
New creative briefs and source assets can sit in Drive while you forget which Bannerbear templates might fit them.
- Surface available templates when a new Drive file arrives.
- Reduce the effort of switching between Drive and Bannerbear.
- Use Notis to interpret the file context and template list.

- 2Create an automation in the portal or tell Notis in plain language from any channel.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to review the new file and list relevant Bannerbear templates.
- 4Pick the Google Drive File Created trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real Drive file and review the result.
Questions about this workflow
Does this create an image from the Drive file?
No. The available Bannerbear action lists templates, so this workflow helps you find a suitable template but does not render an image.
Can I make the workflow look for a particular kind of file?
The trigger is File Created and users do not build filters. You can tell Notis in your instruction how to interpret the file it receives.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Google Drive to Bannerbear. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Google Drive triggers
Bannerbear actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Get Account Info
This tool allows you to check your bannerbear account status, including quota levels and current usage. the endpoint returns information about your account status, paid plan, api usage, and quota.
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Get Available Fonts
This tool retrieves a list of all available fonts in bannerbear. the fonts are categorized into serif, sans serif, novelty, international, and custom, and can be used to verify font availability prior to creating or modifying images.
Comment Added (Docs/Sheets/Slides)
Triggers when a new comment is added to Google Docs, Sheets, or Slides.
Get Signed Bases
This tool retrieves a list of signed bases for a specific template. signed bases are used to generate on-demand images using encrypted url parameters. the endpoint returns a list of base urls that can be used with the signed url feature.
File Created
Triggers when a new file is created in Google Drive.
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.
File Deleted or Trashed
Triggers when a file is moved to trash or permanently deleted in Drive.
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.
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.
List Images
Lists all images inside a bannerbear project. this endpoint allows you to retrieve a paginated list of all images that have been created in your project.
File Updated
Triggers when a file's metadata or content changes in Google Drive.
List Templates
