Bring Brex account context into Drive sharing follow-up
A new share can be a cue to gather the Brex account context your next review needs.
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
Get Account Details
Get details about the current brex account.
Why this helps
Cross-tool handoffs can stall when someone must stop to find basic company account details before acting.
- Gather current account details when a shared Drive resource prompts follow-up.
- Reduce context switching before a financial operations review.
- Provide a useful run report for the next step.
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 name the sharing follow-up.
- 3Tell Notis to retrieve Brex account details whenever a Drive file or folder receives new sharing permissions.
- 4Pick the Google Drive File Shared trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real permission change and check the report.
Questions about this workflow
Does this decide whether a share is approved?
No. The trigger reports added Drive permissions and the action retrieves Brex account details. A person should make any access decision.
Can the lookup tell who received the Drive share?
The trigger indicates permissions were added, but this workflow does not claim that the Brex account details action uses recipient information.
