Review your Baserow tables when Drive sharing changes
A newly shared file can trigger coordination work. Bring your Baserow table directory into the same moment for a quick review.
Trigger
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.
Action
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.
Why this helps
Sharing changes can create ownership and follow-up questions that are easy to lose between Drive and your tracking system.
- Surfaces available tracking tables at the time of a share change
- Keeps review close to the event that may need coordination
- Sends the run result to a report channel you choose
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 tables in a specified Baserow database when Drive reports new sharing permissions.
- 4Pick the Google Drive File Shared trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real sharing change and review the returned tables.
Questions about this workflow
Does this tell me who received access?
The trigger detects new sharing permissions, but this workflow only uses the Baserow action to list tables. Ask Notis to include available trigger details in its report if needed.
Does the workflow create a Baserow table?
No. The listed action only retrieves tables in a specified database.

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.
