Review a BigML Connector When Drive Access Changes
A sharing change can be a useful moment to confirm the related BigML connector is still in the expected state.
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
Get External Connector
Tool to retrieve details of an external connector. use after creating or listing external connectors to inspect its state.
Why this helps
Access changes are easy to overlook when the source folder and external data connector are managed in separate tools.
- Tie a Drive permission change to a timely connector check.
- Surface connector details in a run report for follow-up.
- Reduce the chance that access review tasks are forgotten.
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 give it an access review name.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to retrieve the relevant BigML connector details when Drive sharing changes and summarize the result.
- 4Pick the File Shared trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real permission change.
Questions about this workflow
Will this change BigML connector permissions?
No. The available action retrieves connector details. It does not modify BigML or Drive permissions.
Can Notis infer which connector relates to the shared file?
Only if you provide enough context in your instruction or available resource information. A relationship between Drive files and BigML connectors is not guaranteed by the listed events.
