Start Prospecting When a Drive Brief Is Shared
Share a prepared brief with the right collaborators and let Notis turn its criteria into a Bettercontact search.
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

Tool to create a new Lead Finder search to discover leads based on company and people criteria. Use when you need to find prospects matching specific job titles, departments, seniority, company size, industry, or technology stack.
Why this helps
A ready-to-use prospect brief can stall after sharing while someone waits to start the search manually.
- Use sharing of a brief as a signal that prospecting is ready to begin.
- Create a Lead Finder search from the brief's stated criteria.
- Reduce follow-up to kick off a planned search.

- 1Connect Google Drive and Bettercontact once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or tell Notis from any channel to start a prospect search when a brief is shared.
- 3Describe how to identify the brief, interpret its criteria, and handle incomplete details.
- 4Pick the Google Drive File Shared trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test by sharing one real brief and review the resulting search request.
