Make a Drive Comment a Prompt for Bonsai Space Options
When a comment raises a workspace question, have Notis retrieve the available Bonsai spaces so you can review the options without pausing to search elsewhere.
Trigger
Comment Added (Docs/Sheets/Slides)
Triggers when a new comment is added to Google Docs, Sheets, or Slides.
Action
List Bonsai Spaces
Tool to retrieve a list of all available spaces. use when you need to see the server groups and geographic regions available to your account.
Why this helps
A comment can create a follow-up question that gets lost while you move between planning documents and workspace tools.
- Surface available Bonsai spaces when discussion prompts a workspace review.
- Keep a comment-triggered lookup in a run report channel you already check.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Drive and Bonsai once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or tell Notis from any channel; describe listing Bonsai spaces when a comment is added to a Google document, sheet, or slide.
- 3Pick the Google Drive Comment Added trigger.
- 4Choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real comment and review the returned spaces.
Questions about this workflow
Does this identify which space a comment refers to?
The action lists available Bonsai spaces. The listed trigger detects a new comment but does not establish which space the commenter means.
Does it add a reply to the comment?
No. The available Bonsai action only retrieves a list of spaces.

List Spaces

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