Capture shared review pages for quick context

When a review file is shared, capture its referenced webpage so collaborators have a visual starting point.

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

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.

Why this helps

A shared review request can arrive without enough visual context, leading to extra messages and repeat visits to the page.

  • Give collaborators a visual page reference.
  • Reduce follow-up messages asking what page to review.
  • Keep screenshot capture tied to a sharing event.

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 capture the webpage URL in the file's review notes when the file is shared.
  • 4Pick File Shared as the trigger and choose where run reports go.
  • 5Test with one real file containing a review URL.
