Triggers when changes are detected in a Google Drive.

Action

Get All Bot Data

Tool to retrieve all data associated with the bot, including files and resources. use when you need a comprehensive export of bot assets for backup or inspection.

Why this helps

Several Drive changes can make it hard to remember whether chatbot training sources still reflect the current material.

  • Use a broad Drive change signal to prompt inspection
  • Bring Botsonic source data into a reviewable summary
  • Help spot potential knowledge drift

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 Botsonic bot data to retrieve when Drive changes are detected and what source discrepancies to flag; specify available context and intended bot.
  • 4Pick the Google Drive Changes trigger and choose where run reports go.
  • 5Test with one real Drive change and review the resulting data summary.

Questions about this workflow

Does this identify which Drive file changed?

The event is a Google Drive changes signal. Use any details present in its payload or provide the relevant context; do not assume it contains a particular file unless confirmed.

Will it update or delete source data?

No. The workflow retrieves Botsonic data for inspection. Changes to source entries require other actions and confirmed identifiers.

How is this different from a single file update trigger?

This is the broader Google Drive Changes event. Use it when a general change signal is the review cue you need.

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.
