Pair new Drive access with a Beaconchain node check

When you grant someone access to operational material, get a Beaconchain node health snapshot in the same workflow and reduce a separate check.

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

Get Node Health

Tool to get the health status of the node. use when you need to check if the node is ready, syncing, or in an error state.

Why this helps

New collaborators can receive access to staking materials without anyone checking whether the Beaconchain node is ready for the work.

  • Add a node readiness snapshot to a sharing event.
  • Help collaborators start with current node health context.
  • Reduce manual checks after operational access changes.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Google Drive and Beaconchain once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation and describe the node health summary you want after sharing changes.
  • 3Pick File Shared (Permissions Added) as the trigger.
  • 4Choose where Notis should send run reports.
  • 5Test with one real file or folder sharing event.

Questions about this workflow

Does the workflow report who received access?

The trigger detects added sharing permissions. The action retrieves node health; describe in your instruction how you want available event context summarized.

What does Beaconchain return?

The selected action retrieves the health status of the node, such as whether it is ready, syncing, or in an error state.
