Start a Basin intake form from a new Drive brief
A new brief can kick off a ready-to-use intake form, without another setup task on your list.
Trigger
File Created
Triggers when a new file is created in Google Drive.
Action
Create Form
Tool to create a new form in basin. use when you need to automate form setup with name, timezone, and project association; optionally configure redirect, notifications, or spam protection.
Why this helps
A new project brief often sits in Drive while someone still needs to build the form that collects the next details.
- Reduce the lag between receiving a brief and opening intake.
- Use a consistent form setup prompt for new projects.
- Keep automation run reports in the channel you already check.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Drive and Basin once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
- 3Describe that a new brief should prompt Notis to create a Basin intake form using the brief context and a clear form name.
- 4Pick the Google Drive File Created trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real brief and review the created form.
Questions about this workflow
Does this copy the Drive file into Basin?
No. It uses the new file as context for a prompt to create a Basin form. The form is a separate artifact.
Can Notis infer every form setting from the brief?
Only if the brief or your instruction provides the needed details. Include requirements such as timezone or project association in the prompt when they matter.

Delete Form
Tool to delete a form. use when permanently removing a form after it's no longer needed. ensure the form id is correct; this operation is irreversible.
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.
