Triggers when a new file is created in Google Drive.
Action

Why this helps
A new inventory can be filed away before anyone checks it against the heartbeat checks already configured.
- Surface possible differences between the inventory and configured heartbeats.
- Give a new operational document a useful next step.
- Keep review results in a chosen reporting channel.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Drive and Better Stack once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to compare the new uptime inventory with the Better Stack heartbeat list and report possible missing or unclear entries.
- 4Pick the Google Drive File Created trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real uptime inventory file.
Questions about this workflow
Will this create or modify heartbeats?
No. It lists configured heartbeats and provides a comparison for someone to review.
What information should the inventory contain?
Include clear service or check names. Notis can only compare what the document states with the heartbeat data returned by Better Stack.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Google Drive to Better stack. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Google Drive triggers
Better stack actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Create Escalation Policy
Tool to create a new escalation policy. use when defining how incidents should escalate across team members.
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Create Heartbeat Group

Create Outgoing Webhook Integration
Tool to create a new outgoing webhook integration. use when you need to register an endpoint to receive event notifications from better stack.
File Created

Create Source Group
Tool to create a new source group. use when you have finalized the group name (and optional sort index) and need to organize related log sources under that group.
File Deleted or Trashed
Triggers when a file is moved to trash or permanently deleted in Drive.
Delete Escalation Policy
Tool to delete an escalation policy by id. use when you need to permanently remove an existing escalation policy after confirming its 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.
Delete Source Group
Tool to delete a source group by id. use when you need to permanently remove an existing source group after confirming it is no longer needed.
File Updated
Triggers when a file's metadata or content changes in Google Drive.
Get Heartbeat
Tool to get a single heartbeat by id. use when you need to fetch details of a specific heartbeat.
