Action
Get Robots List
This tool retrieves a list of all robots under your account in browse ai. each robot represents an automated task that can be trained to perform various web operations like opening webpages, logging in, clicking buttons, filling forms, extracting data, and monitoring changes. it is useful for: - getting an overview of all your automated tasks - checking the status of your robots - retrieving robot ids for use with other api endpoints - monitoring when robots were last updated or created
Why this helps
Choosing the right robot can add another search through account tools before research can begin.
- Retrieve the robots available in your Browse AI account.
- Pair robot options with a newly created research plan.
- Reduce context switching before choosing a robot.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Drive and Browse AI once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3Tell Notis to retrieve the Browse AI robots list when a new research plan is created and send the list with the plan context to your chosen channel.
- 4Pick the Google Drive File Created trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real research plan and confirm the robot list arrives.
Questions about this workflow
Does this workflow run a robot?
No. It retrieves the available robots list. Choose and run a robot separately when you are ready.
What information should the plan contain?
Include a short research goal and any website context you want included with the robot list.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Google Drive to Browseai. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Google Drive triggers
Browseai actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Bulk Run Tasks
This action allows users to bulk run up to 50,000 tasks using a specified robot. it provides a post endpoint at /v2/robots/{robotid}/bulk-tasks and supports parameters such as robot id (required), title (required), and input parameters (required). this bulk operation is essential for large-scale data extraction.
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Create Monitor
This tool creates a new monitor for a specific robot in browse ai. it allows you to configure a monitor with a schedule (frequency and interval) for automatic execution, along with optional custom name and input parameters, enabling automated tracking of website changes.
Comment Added (Docs/Sheets/Slides)
Triggers when a new comment is added to Google Docs, Sheets, or Slides.
Create Webhook
This tool creates a new webhook for a browseai robot. webhooks are used to receive notifications when tasks are completed or data changes are detected. the webhook will be called with the task details when specific events occur. it is useful for: - setting up automated notifications for task completion - receiving real-time updates when changes are detected - integrating browseai with your own systems - automating workflows based on robot task results the webhook can be configured to trigger on different events: - task.completed: when a task is successfully completed - task.failed: when a task fails - changes.detected: when changes are detected during monitoring
File Created
Triggers when a new file is created in Google Drive.
Delete a specific monitor
This tool allows users to delete a specific monitor from their browse ai account. it uses the delete method and requires a valid monitor id.
File Deleted or Trashed
Triggers when a file is moved to trash or permanently deleted in Drive.
Delete a specific task
This tool allows you to delete a specific task in browseai by its task id. it is used for cleaning up completed or failed tasks, managing resources, and maintaining your task list.
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.
