Remove suppressed contacts from Benchmark using Drive

When the suppression file changes, have Notis remove the listed contacts from the named Benchmark list and report what happened.

Trigger

File Updated

Triggers when a file's metadata or content changes in Google Drive.

Action

Delete Contact From List

Tool to delete a contact from a specific list by contactid. use when you have list and contact ids. example: "delete contact 2040826674 from list 15257899"

Why this helps

Suppression updates can be missed when contact removal depends on someone noticing a changed document and handling each record.

  • Reduce manual suppression follow-up
  • Use contact and list identifiers recorded in the file
  • Get a report of the run

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 remove contacts stated in the updated suppression file from the specified Benchmark list, using contact IDs and list ID included in the file.
  • 4Pick the Google Drive File Updated trigger and choose where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real update and confirm the intended contact was removed.

Questions about this workflow

What information must the file contain?

The delete action requires a contact ID and a specific list ID. Keep those identifiers in the file and state which file represents the suppression instructions.

Will this remove every contact in the list?

The instruction should limit removals to the contact IDs stated in the updated suppression file. Verify the first run against one real example.

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.
