Turn event field proposals into Bugsnag filters
A clear field proposal in a Docs, Sheets, or Slides comment can become a filterable Bugsnag event field.
Trigger
Comment Added (Docs/Sheets/Slides)
Triggers when a new comment is added to Google Docs, Sheets, or Slides.
Action
Create Custom Event Field
Tool to create a custom event field for a project. use after confirming the project id to add a new filterable field. example: "create a field 'user.id' mapping to 'metadata.user.id' for project 515fb..."
Why this helps
Useful event field ideas in document comments can be overlooked before anyone adds them to Bugsnag.
- Keep field proposals from getting lost in document discussions.
- Create a filterable Bugsnag field from an explicit proposed name and source path.
- Surface missing project details instead of guessing.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Drive and Bugsnag once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a clear name.
- 3Tell Notis to use a new comment only when it explicitly names a field, its event data path, and the confirmed Bugsnag project; otherwise report what is missing.
- 4Pick the Google Drive Comment Added trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real comment containing a field name and event data path.
Questions about this workflow
Can this work from any Drive file?
The trigger covers comments on Docs, Sheets, and Slides. The instruction should tell Notis to act only on a comment with an explicit field name and data path.
What if the Bugsnag project is unclear?
Have Notis report the missing project information rather than guessing which project should receive the field.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Google Drive to Bugsnag. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Google Drive triggers
Bugsnag actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Bulk Update Errors
Tool to bulk update multiple errors in a project. use when batching identical updates across many errors.
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Configure Integration

Create Custom Event Field
Tool to create a custom event field for a project. use after confirming the project id to add a new filterable field. example: "create a field 'user.id' mapping to 'metadata.user.id' for project 515fb..."
File Deleted or Trashed
Triggers when a file is moved to trash or permanently deleted in Drive.
Create Saved Search
Tool to create a new saved search for a project. use when you need to persist a set of filters and sort order as a saved search for a project after confirming project details.
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.
Delete All Errors in a Project
Tool to delete all errors in a project. use when you need to remove all error and event data for a given project. use with caution after confirming the project id, as this action is irreversible and requires project owner or organization administrator permissions.
File Updated

Delete Collaborator
Tool to remove a collaborator from an organization. use when revoking collaborator access after confirming both organization and collaborator ids. requires organization administrator privileges.
