Keep QR destinations in step with campaign reviews
When a reviewer leaves a clear QR change request in a Drive comment, Notis can update the specified Beaconstac code and send a run report.
Trigger
Comment Added (Docs/Sheets/Slides)
Triggers when a new comment is added to Google Docs, Sheets, or Slides.
Action
Update QR Code
Tool to update an existing qr code by its id. use when you need to modify qr code attributes; only provided fields are changed.
Why this helps
QR change requests buried in document comments can be missed while campaign assets are being reviewed.
- Act on clearly stated QR change requests without switching between Drive and Beaconstac.
- Keep the existing QR code ID in the review instruction so the intended code is clear.
- Receive a run report showing what Notis did.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Drive and Beaconstac once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3Tell Notis to update the specified existing QR code only when a Drive comment clearly states the code ID and requested change.
- 4Pick the Comment Added trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real review comment that identifies an existing QR code and its requested update.
Questions about this workflow
Does this create a new QR code?
No. It uses Beaconstac's Update QR Code action for an existing code. The comment must identify the code and the requested change.
What happens if a comment is ambiguous?
Tell Notis in the instruction to leave the code unchanged and report the ambiguity.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Google Drive to Beaconstac. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Google Drive triggers
Beaconstac actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Create Place
Tool to create a new place for location-based assets. use when you need to register a new physical place under an organization.
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Create QR Template
Tool to create a new qr code template. use when you need reusable design presets for qr codes.
Comment Added (Docs/Sheets/Slides)

Create Tag

File Deleted or Trashed

Delete QR Code
Tool to delete a qr code by its id. use when you need to remove an existing qr code after validation.
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.
Delete QR Code Template
Tool to delete a qr code template by its id. use when you need to permanently remove a qr code template that is no longer needed.
File Updated
Triggers when a file's metadata or content changes in Google Drive.
Delete Tag
