Keep related Bitbucket issues in sync with Drive removals

A deleted or trashed document can change the plan. Add that context to the related Bitbucket issue so the team can decide what to do next.

Trigger

File Deleted or Trashed

Triggers when a file is moved to trash or permanently deleted in Drive.

Action

Update an issue

Updates an existing issue in a bitbucket repository by modifying specified attributes; requires `workspace`, `repo slug`, `issue id`, and at least one attribute to update.

Why this helps

When a source document disappears, its related engineering issue can keep circulating with stale assumptions.

  • Surface document removals in the existing work item.
  • Give teammates context to reassess dependent work.
  • Reduce follow-up based on links that no longer work.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Google Drive and Bitbucket once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, then choose New Automation.
  • 3In one instruction, tell Notis how to find the related issue and what removal context to add.
  • 4Pick the Google Drive File Deleted or Trashed trigger and choose where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real file removal and confirm the intended issue is updated.

Questions about this workflow

Does this delete or close the Bitbucket issue?

No. It updates an existing issue. Tell Notis which attribute to change and provide the issue context it needs.

Can the workflow distinguish trash from permanent deletion?

The trigger covers files moved to trash or permanently deleted. If the distinction matters to your process, include it in the instruction when that event detail is available.

Supported Triggers and Actions

Notis builds workflows that link Google Drive to Bitbucket. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.

Google Drive triggers

Bitbucket actions

Recurring trigger

Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.

TriggerScheduled

Create a branch

Creates a new branch in a bitbucket repository from a target commit hash; the branch name must be unique, adhere to bitbucket's naming conventions, and not include the 'refs/heads/' prefix.

ActionInstant

Webhook trigger

Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.

TriggerInstant

Create an issue

Creates a new issue in a bitbucket repository, setting the authenticated user as reporter; ensures assignee (if provided) has repository access, and that any specified milestone, version, or component ids exist.

ActionInstant

Comment Added (Docs/Sheets/Slides)

Triggers when a new comment is added to Google Docs, Sheets, or Slides.

TriggerPolling

Create an issue comment

Adds a new comment with markdown support to an existing bitbucket issue.

ActionInstant

File Created

Triggers when a new file is created in Google Drive.

TriggerPolling

Create a pull request

Creates a new pull request in a specified bitbucket repository, ensuring the source branch exists and is distinct from the (optional) destination branch.

ActionInstant

File Deleted or Trashed

Triggers when a file is moved to trash or permanently deleted in Drive.

TriggerPolling

Create repository

Creates a new bitbucket 'git' repository in a specified workspace, defaulting to the workspace's oldest project if `project key` is not provided.

ActionInstant

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

Create snippet comment

Posts a new top-level comment or a threaded reply to an existing comment on a specified bitbucket snippet.

ActionInstant

File Updated

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

TriggerPolling

Delete issue

Permanently deletes a specific issue, identified by its `issue id`, from the repository specified by `repo slug` within the given `workspace`.

ActionInstant

Google Drive Changes

Triggers when changes are detected in a Google Drive.

TriggerPolling

Delete repository

Permanently deletes a specified bitbucket repository; this action is irreversible and does not affect forks.
