Review Brex budget availability on a schedule
Get a regular view of budget availability without remembering to check each budget by hand.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
List Budgets
List all budgets and show available amounts across all cards.
Why this helps
Founders can lose time checking budgets one by one and may miss remaining capacity until a purchase is already pending.
- See available amounts across budgets in one run report.
- Build a dependable review rhythm without a calendar reminder.
- Spot budgets that may need human attention sooner.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Brex once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name the budget digest.
- 3Tell Notis to list Brex budgets and summarize available amounts in a concise report.
- 4Pick a recurring schedule and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test once and confirm the report includes the budget availability you need.
Questions about this workflow
Does this change budgets when availability is low?
No. It lists budgets and available amounts for review. Updating budgets requires a separate action and explicit instruction.
How often should it run?
Choose a cadence that fits your review routine, such as weekly. The workflow has no cadence-specific variants.

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.
