Keep Beaconstac tag labels current with campaign changes

When a Drive change record identifies a Beaconstac tag and its new name or color, Notis can apply that update and report the result.

Trigger

Google Drive Changes

Triggers when changes are detected in a Google Drive.

Action

Update Tag

Tool to update an existing tag by its id. use when you need to modify a tag's name or color after confirming its id via list tags.

Why this helps

Tag naming updates can be recorded in Drive but forgotten in the tool where campaign assets are organized.

  • Use Drive change records as a prompt to update an existing tag.
  • Limit changes to the name or color stated in the instruction.
  • Receive a run report for follow-up.

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 identify the existing tag and apply only its clearly stated new name or color.
  • 4Pick the Google Drive Changes trigger and choose where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real change record that names a known Beaconstac tag and its requested change.

Questions about this workflow

Will this update tags based on any Drive change?

The instruction should require an explicit tag identifier and requested name or color; other changes should not alter Beaconstac.

Does this apply the updated tag to QR codes?

No. The action updates the tag itself and does not apply it to QR codes.

ActionInstant

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.
