Send new published Drive resources to Botsonic

Create a source document in Drive and have Notis add its accessible URL to your chatbot's knowledge base.

Trigger

File Created

Triggers when a new file is created in Google Drive.

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

New reference material often sits outside the chatbot's knowledge base because adding each eligible resource is easy to forget.

  • Reduce the gap between publishing reference material and chatbot training
  • Handle new URL-based resources as they are created
  • Keep the addition process prompt-driven

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.
  • 3In one instruction, ask Notis to add the new file's accessible published URL to the intended bot, and say how to identify eligible files and the bot.
  • 4Pick the Google Drive File Created trigger and choose where run reports go.
  • 5Test with one real new file that has an accessible published URL.

Questions about this workflow

Will every new Drive file be added?

Set the intended eligibility rule in your instruction. Only add files with accessible URLs that are appropriate for chatbot training.

Can the action upload a file directly?

The allowed action uploads URLs. It does not upload Drive file contents, so provide or maintain an accessible URL.

What does Notis need to identify the bot?

Include the intended bot identity in your instruction if the event and connected account context do not specify it.

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.

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.
