Move a New Drive Source Request into BigML
Let a new source request document prompt connector setup while the details are fresh and easy to review.
Trigger
File Created
Triggers when a new file is created in Google Drive.
Action
Create External Connector
Tool to create a new external connector for data sources. use after configuring external databases or search indices.
Why this helps
A source request in Drive can wait unnoticed while the team manually copies setup details into BigML.
- Connect a newly documented source request with connector setup.
- Reduce repeated re-entry of request context.
- Keep the creation result available in the Notis report channel.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Drive and BigML once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it for source requests.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to use details in each new source request file to create the BigML external connector.
- 4Pick the File Created trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real request document.
Questions about this workflow
Can this extract every connector setting from any file?
Not guaranteed. The file must contain the configuration details needed by BigML, and Notis must be able to access them from the event context or instruction.
Will every new Drive file create a connector?
The File Created event covers new files. Describe the intended source request handling in the prompt, and test with the file types you expect to receive.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Google Drive to Bigml. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Google Drive triggers
Bigml actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Create External Connector
Tool to create a new external connector for data sources. use after configuring external databases or search indices.
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Create Project
Tool to create a new project. use when you need to group related bigml resources into a project.
Comment Added (Docs/Sheets/Slides)
Triggers when a new comment is added to Google Docs, Sheets, or Slides.
Delete Project
Tool to delete an existing project. use when you need to permanently remove a project resource after confirming it is not in use by other resources.
File Created
Triggers when a new file is created in Google Drive.
Get External Connector
Tool to retrieve details of an external connector. use after creating or listing external connectors to inspect its state.
File Deleted or Trashed
Triggers when a file is moved to trash or permanently deleted in Drive.
Get Project
Tool to retrieve details of a project by id. use when you need to inspect project metadata before analysis.
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.
List Correlations
Tool to list correlation resources. use when you need to browse or paginate existing correlations for the authenticated user.
File Updated
Triggers when a file's metadata or content changes in Google Drive.
Google Drive Changes
Triggers when changes are detected in a Google Drive.
