Why this helps
A small change to a launch brief can leave an announcement out of date, especially when follow-up is spread across apps.
- Bring changed launch details back to the team's attention.
- Find potentially related Beamer posts for manual verification.
- Keep review work tied to the Drive update that prompted it.

Get Feed URL

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.
