Pair a newly shared company file with company research
A newly shared brief can carry its company context into research, so collaborators spend less time hunting for background.
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
Company Find
Tool to lookup company data by domain name. use when you need detailed company profile by providing a website domain. use after confirming domain correctness.
Why this helps
Sharing a company file often starts a handoff, but the next person still has to find the company background.
- Attach company research to a file sharing handoff.
- Look up a confirmed domain in Bigpicture io.
- Reduce manual background gathering for collaborators.
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 newly shared file for a confirmed company domain and retrieve its profile with Company Find.
- 4Choose the File Shared trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real file that receives a sharing permission.
Questions about this workflow
