Review Brex spend limits after a finance file is removed
When a finance file disappears from Drive, gather the current Brex spend limits for a follow-up review.
Trigger
File Deleted or Trashed
Triggers when a file is moved to trash or permanently deleted in Drive.
Action
Get Spend Limits
Get spend limits configuration.
Why this helps
A removed finance document can leave an open question about controls, and finding the current limits takes another manual lookup.
- Bring current spend limit configuration into a follow-up review.
- Reduce the time needed to locate Brex control information.
- Make unusual file changes easier to investigate.
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 limits check.
- 3Tell Notis to retrieve Brex spend limits when a finance file is deleted or moved to trash.
- 4Pick the Google Drive File Deleted or Trashed trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real file move to trash and check the report.
Questions about this workflow
Does this restore the deleted file or change spend limits?
No. It retrieves Brex spend limits for review; it does not restore Drive files or modify Brex controls.
Can it tell why the file was removed?
The listed trigger covers a file moved to trash or permanently deleted. It does not establish the reason for the change.

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.
