Trigger
New File Matching Query
Triggers when a new Google Drive file matches a provided query. This is the legacy query-centric trigger: it preserves Drive API query config such as ``corpora`` / ``driveId`` aliases and emits the historical ``file_matching_query`` event type. ``FileCreatedTrigger`` covers the broader "new file" case and emits ``file_created``.
Action
Browse Available Scrapers
Tool to list all available pre-made scrapers (datasets) from bright data's marketplace. use when you need to browse available data sources for structured scraping.
Why this helps
Choosing a data source can stall research when marketplace options have to be rediscovered for each project.
- Start scraper discovery from a file matching a Drive query.
- See available marketplace datasets in a run report.
- Reduce repeated manual browsing for data sources.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Drive and Bright Data once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name the scraper discovery flow.
- 3Describe in one instruction how to browse available scrapers and report options relevant to the matching file.
- 4Pick the Google Drive New File Matching Query trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real file that matches the configured query.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Google Drive to Brightdata. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Google Drive triggers
Brightdata actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Trigger Site Crawl
Tool to trigger a site crawl job to extract content across multiple pages or entire domains. use when you need to start a crawl for a given dataset and list of urls.
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Browse Available Scrapers

Comment Added (Docs/Sheets/Slides)
Triggers when a new comment is added to Google Docs, Sheets, or Slides.
Filter Dataset
Tool to apply custom filter criteria to a marketplace dataset (beta). use after selecting a dataset to generate a filtered snapshot.
File Created
Triggers when a new file is created in Google Drive.
Get Available Cities
Tool to get available static network cities for a given country. use when you need to configure static proxy endpoints after selecting a country.
File Deleted or Trashed
Triggers when a file is moved to trash or permanently deleted in Drive.
Get Available Countries
Tool to list available countries and their iso 3166-1 alpha-2 codes. use when you need to configure zones with valid country codes before provisioning proxies.
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.
Download Scraped Data
Tool to retrieve the scraped data from a completed crawl job by snapshot id. use after triggering a crawl or filtering a dataset to download the collected data.
File Updated
Triggers when a file's metadata or content changes in Google Drive.
Check Crawl Status
Tool to check the processing status of a crawl job using snapshot id. call before attempting to download results to ensure data collection is complete.
Google Drive Changes
Triggers when changes are detected in a Google Drive.
List Unlocker Zones
Tool to list your configured web unlocker zones and proxy endpoints. use to view available zones for web scraping and bot protection bypass.
