Check Baserow tracking options when a Drive file changes
An updated document can change the work around it. Have Notis show the tables in your chosen Baserow database while the change is fresh.
Trigger
File Updated
Triggers when a file's metadata or content changes in Google Drive.
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
Important updates can prompt new tasks, but the next step may get lost while moving between the document and a tracking tool.
- Brings tracking options into the update moment
- Helps keep next-step decisions close to the source change
- Avoids manually opening Baserow just to inspect table names
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 a Drive file is updated.
- 4Pick the Google Drive File Updated trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real file update and review the table list.
Questions about this workflow
Does this summarize what changed in the file?
The listed Baserow action only lists tables. Any change summary would depend on the information available from the Drive trigger.
Can it update a Baserow record too?
No. The allowed Baserow actions here retrieve databases or tables; they do not update records.

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.
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.

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
