Verify email addresses mentioned in Drive comments
Turn a comment that includes a contact address into a quick verification, so the next step does not depend on remembering to check it later.
Trigger

Triggers when a new comment is added to Google Docs, Sheets, or Slides.
Action
Verify Email
Tool to verify a single email address in real-time. use when validating email entry form inputs instantly.
Why this helps
Contact details shared in document comments are easy to lose among review notes and follow-ups.
- Catch a contact address in the flow of document review.
- Run a real-time check on one email address.
- Reduce follow-up reminders for simple address checks.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Drive and Bouncer once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Notis, or tell Notis from any channel what you want it to do.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to find a clearly mentioned email address in a new comment and verify it with Bouncer.
- 4Choose the Google Drive Comment Added trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real comment containing an email address and review the run report.

Delete Toxicity List Job
Tool to delete a specific toxicity list job. use when you need to remove a completed or unwanted toxicity analysis job after confirming its id.
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.
Finish Batch
Tool to mark a batch verification process as finished. use after batch processing completes to stop further verifications and reclaim unused credits.
File Updated
Triggers when a file's metadata or content changes in Google Drive.
Get Batch Results
