Review inventory collaborators when a file is shared

A newly shared inventory file may call for a quick team check. Retrieve the BoxHero member list as context for your follow-up.

Trigger

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.

Action

List Team Members

Tool to retrieve the list of team members. Use when you need to get all members in the team with their roles.

Why this helps

Sharing an inventory file can leave you needing to check team roles in another app before deciding who to involve.

  • Retrieve the current BoxHero member list after a Drive sharing event.
  • Make team context available for a follow-up decision.
  • Reduce manual app switching during inventory coordination.

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 summarize the shared file context and relevant BoxHero team members for your review.
  • 4Pick the Google Drive File Shared trigger and choose where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real file sharing event and review the report.

Questions about this workflow

Does this grant BoxHero members access to the Drive file?

No. It retrieves a list of BoxHero team members and does not change sharing permissions in either app.

Can it determine whether a specific person has BoxHero access?

The member list can provide team member details. Tell Notis which identity to look for, and treat missing or ambiguous identity matches as unresolved.
