Refresh reusable Bidsketch sections from approved Drive copy

When approved service language changes, make the reusable section easier to trust in the next proposal.

Trigger

New File Matching Query

Triggers when a new Google Drive file matches a provided query. This is the legacy query-centric trigger: it preserves Drive API query config such as ``corpora`` / ``driveId`` aliases and emits the historical ``file_matching_query`` event type. ``FileCreatedTrigger`` covers the broader "new file" case and emits ``file_created``.

Action

Update Section

Tool to update a section. use when you need to modify an existing section after confirming its id.

Why this helps

Reusable proposal copy can drift from the latest approved service descriptions stored in Drive.

  • Keep reusable service descriptions current.
  • Reduce repeated edits across proposal content.
  • Surface missing or uncertain section matches.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Google Drive and Bidsketch once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a clear name.
  • 3Tell Notis to find approved service description files matching the provided query and update the corresponding saved Bidsketch section, reporting uncertain matches.
  • 4Pick the Google Drive New File Matching Query trigger and choose where run reports go.
  • 5Test with one real approved file and verify the saved section.

Questions about this workflow

What does the query match?

The Drive trigger uses a query to identify newly matching files. Choose a query that represents the approved service description files you intend to use.

Can this create a saved section if none matches?

This workflow updates a matching saved section. If no clear matching section exists, have Notis report it for review.

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.
