Turn shared Drive resources into Botsonic sources
When your team grants access to a reference file, let Notis check whether its URL belongs in your chatbot's knowledge base.
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
Bulk Upload Bot URLs
Tool to bulk upload urls for bot training. use when you need to upsert multiple document urls into a bot in one request.
Why this helps
A useful resource can become available to the team without anyone remembering to update the chatbot that should answer questions about it.
- Use sharing events as a timely review point
- Add only resources that match your stated training rule
- Reduce forgotten knowledge-base updates
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Drive and Botsonic once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Notis and give it a clear name.
- 3Tell Notis which newly shared files qualify and to add only their accessible published URLs to the intended bot; provide the bot identity if needed.
- 4Pick the Google Drive File Shared trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real newly shared file that has a suitable URL.
Questions about this workflow
Does sharing a Drive file make it suitable for Botsonic training?
Not necessarily. State a clear rule for which shared resources should be added, and only use URLs the bot can access.
Does this inspect every existing permission?
The trigger fires when new sharing permissions are granted. It is not a general audit of all existing Drive access.
Does it send the document contents?
No. The available action bulk uploads URLs, so use an accessible published URL for each qualifying resource.
