Why this helps
When a document disappears, relevant decisions or follow-ups may still be buried in bot conversations.
- Turns a deletion event into a prompt to review relevant chat history.
- Summarizes returned conversations for a run report.
- Helps keep follow-up context visible when files are removed.

Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Drive and Botpress once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation and describe which Botpress conversations or context should be reviewed after a Drive deletion.
- 3Pick the Google Drive File Deleted or Trashed trigger.
- 4Choose where Notis should send run reports.
- 5Test with a real deletion event and confirm the report includes useful context.
Questions about this workflow
Does the workflow restore or delete anything in Botpress?
No. The conversation action retrieves chat threads. It does not restore Drive files or modify Botpress data.
Can it determine which conversations relate to the deleted file?
The listed conversation action retrieves conversations but does not specify a file relationship. Provide a bot, topic, or other usable criteria in your instruction.

LIST_FILE_TAGS
Tool to list all tags used across all bot files. use when you need to retrieve or display file tag metadata; supports pagination via nexttoken.
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.
LIST_FILE_TAG_VALUES
Tool to list all values for a given file tag across all files. use after determining the tag name; supports pagination via nexttoken.
File Updated
Triggers when a file's metadata or content changes in Google Drive.
