Why this helps
A discussion tied to an announcement can be separated from the document where the team is coordinating its response.
- Bring relevant announcement discussion into a Drive-driven run report.
- Give the team context before it follows up on a document comment.
- Reduce manual searching when a comment references a Beamer post.

- 1Connect Google Drive and Beamer once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create and name an automation in Automations, New Automation.
- 3Tell Notis to use a Beamer post ID included in a new Drive comment to retrieve that post's comments and report the discussion.
- 4Choose the Google Drive Comment Added trigger and a report channel.
- 5Test with a real comment that includes a valid Beamer post ID.

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.
