Add Locality and Time Zone Details to New Location Files
Drop in a file with coordinates and get a clear locality and time zone summary without a separate lookup.
Trigger
File Created
Triggers when a new file is created in Google Drive.
Action
Reverse Geocoding With Timezone API
Tool to return reverse geocoding and time zone info for given coordinates. use when you need both locality details and timezone data in one call.
Why this helps
Coordinate lists are hard to interpret, and looking up each place and time zone takes attention away from other work.
- Turn coordinates into readable locality details.
- Get location and time zone information in one lookup.
- Reduce manual research when reviewing location files.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Drive and Big Data Cloud once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3Tell Notis to find latitude and longitude in each new file, look up locality and time zone, and summarize the result.
- 4Choose File Created as the trigger and select a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with a real file that contains coordinates.
Questions about this workflow
What does the file need to contain?
It needs latitude and longitude values that Notis can identify. If the file has no coordinates, the lookup cannot produce a location.
What information does the lookup return?
The action returns reverse geocoding and time zone information for the coordinates.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Google Drive to Big data cloud. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Google Drive triggers
Big data cloud actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Am I Roaming API
Tool to determine if the user is roaming based on their ip address and gps coordinates. use after obtaining device location to verify roaming status before mobile actions.
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
ASN Extended Receiving From Info API
Tool to return upstream providers (receivingfrom) for a given asn. use when you need a paginated list of ases feeding traffic for the specified asn.
Comment Added (Docs/Sheets/Slides)
Triggers when a new comment is added to Google Docs, Sheets, or Slides.
ASN Extended Transit To Info API
Tool to return downstream customers (transitto) for a given asn. use when you need a paginated list of ases receiving traffic from a specific asn.
File Created
Triggers when a new file is created in Google Drive.
ASN Rank List API
Tool to fetch a ranked list of autonomous systems by ipv4 announcement volumes. use after you need to compare or analyze as ranks.
File Deleted or Trashed
Triggers when a file is moved to trash or permanently deleted in Drive.
BGP Active Prefixes API
Tool to retrieve ipv4 or ipv6 prefixes currently announced on bgp. use when inspecting bgp routing announcements for a given asn.
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.
Reverse Geocoding With Timezone API
Tool to return reverse geocoding and time zone info for given coordinates. use when you need both locality details and timezone data in one call.
File Updated
Triggers when a file's metadata or content changes in Google Drive.
Country by IP Address API
Tool to geolocate an ip address and retrieve country details and demographics. use when you need country-level data after obtaining the target ip address.
Google Drive Changes
Triggers when changes are detected in a Google Drive.
Country Info API
Tool to fetch detailed country information by iso code. use when you need localized names, currencies, regions, and other metadata for a country.
