Create Brex expenses from new Google Drive receipts
Drop a receipt into Drive and let Notis create the Brex expense for follow-up.
Trigger
File Created
Triggers when a new file is created in Google Drive.
Action
Create Expense
Create a new expense.
Why this helps
Receipt files often land in Drive and then get forgotten before anyone records the expense in Brex.
- Capture receipt-related expenses while the document is easy to find.
- Reduce manual re-entry between Drive and Brex.
- Keep a clearer trail from receipt file to expense record.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Drive and Brex once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3Tell Notis to create a Brex expense when a new receipt file is added, using only details it can reliably read.
- 4Pick the Google Drive File Created trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real receipt file and review the resulting expense.
Questions about this workflow
Does this read every receipt format?
Notis can use the file details it can access. Verify a real example first, and supply any required expense details that cannot be reliably extracted.
Will it attach the Drive file to the Brex expense?
The listed Brex action creates an expense. Do not assume it attaches the Drive file unless that capability is available in the connected action.

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.
