Pair shared research folders with an economics calendar check
When a folder is shared, use its context to identify the relevant markets and dates, then retrieve economic events from Benzinga.
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
Get Economics
Tool to retrieve economic calendar events including actual, consensus, and prior values and importance. use when filtering by date, country, importance, or updated timestamp.
Why this helps
A newly shared research folder can start a collaboration without anyone checking the economic events that may affect its timing.
- Prompt a macro calendar review as shared work begins.
- Retrieve event actuals, consensus, prior values, and importance when available.
- Surface missing country or date context early.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Drive and Benzinga once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or tell Notis in plain language from any channel.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to use the shared folder context to determine a relevant date range and country, retrieve economic calendar events, and flag missing details.
- 4Pick the Google Drive File Shared trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real folder share.
Questions about this workflow
Does sharing a folder tell Notis which country or date range to use?

What information can the economics action retrieve?
It retrieves economic calendar events including actual, consensus, prior values, and importance, with filtering by date, country, importance, or updated timestamp.
