Run browser checks from Drive QA briefs
Put the URL and the steps to check in a new Drive QA brief. Notis can run the browser task and send you the result.
Trigger
File Created
Triggers when a new file is created in Google Drive.
Action
Execute Custom Function
A tool that allows executing custom puppeteer scripts via http requests. this endpoint enables users to run browser automation tasks without managing their own infrastructure.
Why this helps
Small site checks can linger when the instructions live in a document but the browser work still depends on someone remembering to do it.
- Turn written check instructions into a browser run.
- Keep the test intent with its source brief.
- Get a run report without manually opening the site.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Drive and Browserless once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name and prompt.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to run the browser steps described in the new brief against its URL.
- 4Pick File Created as the trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real QA brief and a safe page.
Questions about this workflow
What belongs in the QA brief?

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Google Drive to Browserless. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Google Drive triggers
Browserless actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Download file using Puppeteer script
This tool allows downloading files that chrome has downloaded during the execution of puppeteer code. it sets up a blank page, creates a fresh download directory, injects the provided code, and executes it. once the script finishes, any downloaded files from chromium are returned with the appropriate content-type header.
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.

Comment Added (Docs/Sheets/Slides)
Triggers when a new comment is added to Google Docs, Sheets, or Slides.
Fetch HTML Content
This tool fetches the complete html content of a webpage using browserless's content api. it's designed to retrieve the full html contents of any website, including dynamically generated content.
File Created
Triggers when a new file is created in Google Drive.
Generate PDF from webpage
This tool generates a pdf from a specified webpage using browserless's pdf generation api. it allows specifying the url of the webpage along with parameters such as format, filename, and waituntil options to control the pdf generation process.
File Deleted or Trashed
Triggers when a file is moved to trash or permanently deleted in Drive.
Scrape webpage content using CSS selectors
A tool to extract structured content from a webpage by specifying css selectors. the tool navigates to the specified url, waits for the page to load (including parsing and executing javascript), and returns the selected elements in a structured json format.
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.
Take Screenshot
A tool that captures a screenshot of a webpage using browserless's screenshot api. the tool takes a url and returns either a png or jpeg image. it includes options for full page capture, image type, quality, and clipping coordinates.
File Updated
Triggers when a file's metadata or content changes in Google Drive.
Unblock Protected Content
This tool provides access to content from websites that implement bot protection mechanisms. it is designed to bypass various types of protection (such as captcha and bot detections) and return the html content of the protected webpage, with optional customization through parameters like waitfor, timeout, and stealth mode.
Google Drive Changes
Triggers when changes are detected in a Google Drive.
