Turn a Drive comment into a Basin form webhook
When a document comment captures an integration request, make it the starting point for the Basin webhook setup.
Trigger
Comment Added (Docs/Sheets/Slides)
Triggers when a new comment is added to Google Docs, Sheets, or Slides.
Action
Create Form Webhook
Tool to create a new webhook for a specific form. use when you need to programmatically add a webhook once you have the form id and callback url confirmed.
Why this helps
Integration requests often live in document comments, where they can be separated from the person who needs to configure the callback.
- Bring integration requests into an actionable automation.
- Reduce manual handoff from a comment to webhook setup.
- Use the comment as context while keeping IDs and callback details explicit.
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 give it a clear name.
- 3In one instruction, tell Notis to create a Basin form webhook using the form ID and callback URL stated in the comment.
- 4Pick the Google Drive Comment Added trigger and choose a report channel.
- 5Test with one real comment containing a confirmed form ID and callback URL.
Questions about this workflow
Will the workflow discover which form the comment refers to?
The comment needs to provide a clear form ID and callback URL, or your prompt needs to provide a reliable way to identify them. The listed action creates a webhook for a specific form.
What kind of comment starts this workflow?
A new comment on a Google Doc, Sheet, or Slide starts it. The prompt should tell Notis what request details to look for.

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.
