See your Baserow databases when new Drive files arrive
A new Drive file can mean new work to track. Have Notis surface your Baserow databases right when a file is created.
Trigger
File Created
Triggers when a new file is created in Google Drive.
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
New documents can create follow-up work, but opening another app to find the right place to track it is easy to postpone.
- Reduces app switching after a file arrives
- Makes available tracking databases easy to review
- Creates a timely prompt for deciding what to track
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 your Baserow databases when a new Drive file is created.
- 4Pick the Google Drive File Created trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real file creation and review the returned database list.
Questions about this workflow
Does this add the Drive file to a Baserow database?
No. The available Baserow action lists databases; it does not create or update a record.
Can I limit this to a particular folder?
The listed trigger starts when a new file is created. It does not expose a folder filter in the supplied event details.

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.
