Ways Notis can move work from Google Drive to Baserow

View example

Refresh your Baserow database inventory when Drive files appear

When a new Drive file appears, list the databases in your Baserow workspace so you can review available places to track it.

View example

Review Baserow tables after a Drive share change

When a Drive file or folder gains sharing permissions, list tables in your chosen Baserow database for a quick review of available tracking destinations.

View example

Check available Baserow databases when a document gets a comment

A new Docs, Sheets, or Slides comment prompts Notis to list your Baserow databases, helping you decide whether the discussion needs tracking.

View example

Bring up Baserow table options after a Drive update

When a Drive file's content or metadata changes, list the tables in a selected Baserow database to support a focused tracking review.

View example

Get a scheduled overview of your Baserow databases

On a schedule you choose, retrieve your Baserow database list as a lightweight reminder of where work can be tracked.

View example

Schedule a Baserow table directory review

At a recurring time, list the tables in a selected Baserow database so your tracking options stay easy to review.

View example

Request your Baserow database list by webhook

Start a Notis webhook when another process or a manual request needs the current list of databases in your Baserow workspace.

View example

Look up Baserow tables when a webhook is called

Use an HTTP request to start a Notis lookup of tables in a specified Baserow database, making the directory available when needed.

Supported Triggers and Actions

Notis builds workflows that link Google Drive to Baserow. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.

Google Drive triggers

Baserow actions

Recurring trigger

Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.

TriggerScheduled

List Databases

This tool retrieves a list of all databases in a specified workspace. as a fundamental operation, it allows users to discover which databases are available in their baserow workspace. this operation is independent and requires only authentication in order to fetch essential metadata for subsequent operations.

Webhook trigger

Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.

List Tables in Database

This tool lists all tables within a specified baserow database. it allows users to retrieve information about all tables in a database by using the get /api/database/{database id}/tables/ endpoint. the expected output is an array of table objects containing details such as id, name, order, database id, type, and first row header.

ActionInstant

Comment Added (Docs/Sheets/Slides)

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

TriggerPolling

File Created

Triggers when a new file is created in Google Drive.

TriggerPolling

File Deleted or Trashed

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

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.

TriggerPolling

Google Drive Changes

Triggers when changes are detected in a Google Drive.

Trigger Types

Four ways to start an automation.

A trigger is the event that kicks a workflow off. Notis supports four kinds: an event in a connected app, an inbound webhook, a recurring schedule, and soon, your own database.

Integration triggers

Fire when something happens inside a connected app. New Notion page, Stripe charge, Linear issue: any of 1,000+ apps can start a workflow.

New Notion pageStripe chargeCalendar event

Webhook triggers

A unique URL per workflow. Anything that can send an HTTP POST can start an automation, including no-code tools that speak webhooks.

Recurring triggers

Cron-style schedules run a workflow on the clock. Daily standups, hourly syncs, business-hours-only digests: the workhorse of Notis.

Database triggers

Watch a row, query, or threshold in your own database and fire the moment the data changes. Row inserted, value crosses a limit, query starts matching.

Why AI automation

Classic automation breaks. AI adapts.

Same triggers and actions, smarter middle. AI handles the fuzziness that breaks traditional Zapier-style workflows the moment a field gets renamed.
