Turn new Drive files into company domain research

A new company brief can start firmographic research without making you stop and look up the business by hand.

Trigger

File Created

Triggers when a new file is created in Google Drive.

Action

Name to Domain Search

Tool to find company domain(s) by company name. use when you have a company name and need up to 3 likely domains.

Why this helps

Company names in incoming files often sit unnoticed while someone manually searches for the matching website.

  • Find up to three likely domains from a company name in a new file.
  • Reduce manual searching before lead qualification.
  • Keep initial company research moving from the same Drive event.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Google Drive and Bigpicture io once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a clear name.
  • 3Tell Notis to read a new file for a clearly stated company name and use Name to Domain Search to find likely domains.
  • 4Choose the File Created trigger and select where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real company file and confirm the results are useful.

Questions about this workflow

Does this verify which domain is correct?

No. Name to Domain Search returns up to three likely domains. Confirm the right domain before using Company Find.

What if the file has several company names?

Tell Notis in the instruction which company name to prioritize, or how to handle multiple names.

TriggerPolling

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.

TriggerPolling

File Updated

Triggers when a file's metadata or content changes in Google Drive.
