Reduce handoffs when a campaign collaborator joins

A new Drive share can trigger a Beaconstac user setup when the onboarding instruction identifies the intended account details and organization.

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

Create User

Tool to create a new user. use when onboarding a new user under your organization (reseller plan and above).

Why this helps

Adding a campaign collaborator in one system and remembering to onboard them in another creates a follow-up task that can get lost.

  • Use a new sharing event to surface an onboarding task promptly.
  • Create a Beaconstac user only when the instruction supplies the necessary account details.
  • Receive a report to review the setup outcome.

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 which explicit onboarding details and organization context to use before creating a Beaconstac user.
  • 4Pick the File Shared trigger and choose where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real sharing event and the corresponding approved onboarding details.

Questions about this workflow

Does a Drive share provide every detail Beaconstac needs?

Not necessarily. The instruction must supply or identify the required user and organization details; Notis should report when information is missing.

Is this suitable for every Beaconstac plan?

The listed action is for onboarding a user under a reseller plan and above. Confirm your account supports that action.
