Keep access changes visible with the work
Help the team notice when a task's Drive reference has been shared with new collaborators.
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
Create Comment
Tool to add a new comment to a task. use when you need to record discussion or feedback on an existing task.
Why this helps
A change in file access can affect review or delivery, but the update may be invisible in the task thread.
- Make relevant collaboration changes visible where work is tracked.
- Keep the file link with the task update.
- Avoid posting about unrelated sharing events.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Drive and Bugherd once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, then choose New Automation.
- 3Tell Notis to comment on the referenced task only when a new share affects task collaboration, and include the file link.
- 4Pick the Google Drive File Shared trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real sharing change tied to a task.
Questions about this workflow
Does this expose permission details?
Ask Notis to report only the sharing change information needed by the task team, and avoid including sensitive details in the comment.
What if the related task is unclear?
Instruct Notis to send a run report for manual review instead of commenting on an assumed task.
