Review tracking options when a Drive comment arrives
Comments often contain decisions or requests. See your Baserow databases at the moment a new comment may need follow-up.
Trigger
Comment Added (Docs/Sheets/Slides)
Triggers when a new comment is added to Google Docs, Sheets, or Slides.
Action
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.
Why this helps
Useful requests buried in document comments can be overlooked when you have to remember to find a separate place to track them.
- Pairs a new comment with a view of available tracking databases
- Reduces the effort of switching tools to plan follow-up
- Helps make the next tracking decision while context is fresh
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Drive and Baserow once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis from any channel.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to list the Baserow databases when a new comment is added to a Drive document.
- 4Pick the Google Drive Comment Added trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real comment and review the database list.

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

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.
Comment Added (Docs/Sheets/Slides)
Triggers when a new comment is added to Google Docs, Sheets, or Slides.
File Created
Triggers when a new file is created in Google Drive.
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.
