Create a Benchmark list from a Google Drive campaign brief
When a new campaign brief lands in Drive, have Notis create its contact list in Benchmark and report the result where you work.
Trigger
File Created
Triggers when a new file is created in Google Drive.
Action
Create Contact List
Tool to create a new contact list. use after planning list name and optional description.
Why this helps
Campaign setup stalls when audience details are in a document and someone still has to create the matching list by hand.
- Reduce manual campaign setup
- Keep list names aligned with campaign briefs
- Get a run report without switching apps
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Drive and Benchmark email once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or tell Notis from any channel what outcome you want.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to create a Benchmark contact list from each new Drive campaign brief, using its stated audience name and description.
- 4Pick the Google Drive File Created trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real brief and confirm the list details.
Questions about this workflow
Does this create a list from every new Drive file?
Describe which new files count as campaign briefs in your instruction. Notis uses the selected File Created trigger and the instruction to determine the intended outcome.
Does it add contacts to the new list?
This workflow creates the list. Adding contacts requires a separate instruction and available contact details.

Delete Webhook

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.
