Align starter questions with new Drive resources

When a new resource matches your Drive query, check whether the questions users start with still fit the bot's knowledge.

Trigger

Recurring schedule

Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.

Action

Get All Starter Questions

Tool to retrieve all starter questions. use after authenticating when you need to list the bot’s opening prompts.

Why this helps

New subject matter can enter a bot's sources while its suggested opening questions remain focused on older topics.

  • Prompt a review when new topic material appears
  • Keep starter questions aligned with available content
  • Catch gaps between bot knowledge and opening suggestions

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 to retrieve the intended bot's starter questions when a new query-matched file appears and flag prompts that may need review; provide topic and bot context.
  • 4Pick the New File Matching Query trigger and choose where run reports go.
  • 5Test with one real query match and inspect the suggestions.

Questions about this workflow

Does this automatically add questions about the new resource?

No. It retrieves existing starter questions for review. Updating a starter question needs a confirmed identifier and the update action.

How does it determine the topic of the file?

Use topic information available in the event, or provide the relevant context in the instruction.

Does the query match itself confirm the file should change the bot's prompts?

No. State which matched resources are meaningful enough to trigger a prompt review.

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.
