Turn a new stocktake file into an inventory review

A stocktake file is easy to lose in a busy week. Get a BoxHero item summary when the file lands in Drive.

Trigger

File Created

Triggers when a new file is created in Google Drive.

Action

List Items

Tool to list items. Use when fetching products with optional location filters and pagination.

Why this helps

Stocktake files can sit unread while you still need to check current inventory in BoxHero.

  • See BoxHero item information alongside a newly created stocktake file.
  • Reduce the effort of opening multiple tools to begin an inventory review.
  • Get a run report with the findings in your chosen channel.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Google Drive and BoxHero once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
  • 3Describe in one instruction how Notis should use the new file context and summarize relevant BoxHero items for review.
  • 4Pick the Google Drive File Created trigger and choose where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real stocktake file and review the run report.

Questions about this workflow

Does this workflow update BoxHero stock quantities?

No. The available BoxHero action lists items and their details; it does not change inventory quantities.

Can the summary compare the file with BoxHero?

You can ask Notis to compare information it can read from the file with returned BoxHero item data. Supply any matching rules that are not clear from those sources.

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.
