Keep shared design files with the Bugherd task
When a Drive file is shared with collaborators, keep its reference close to the work in Bugherd.
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 Attachment
Tool to add a new attachment to a task using an existing url. use when you have project and task ids and the external file url ready.
Why this helps
A design link shared in Drive can be hard to find later from the task where the team needs it.
- Keep a useful file link beside the related task.
- Reduce searching across apps for design references.
- Attach only when the file and task can be matched confidently.
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 attach the shared file URL to the Bugherd task identified in the file or sharing context, and report unclear matches.
- 4Pick the Google Drive File Shared trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real shared file and confirm its link opens for the intended collaborators.
Questions about this workflow
What does the attachment action need?
Bugherd's Create Attachment action uses an existing URL, so the Drive file needs an accessible link.
What if the shared file does not mention a task?
Ask Notis to report that it could not identify a task rather than attach the link to an unrelated task.
