- Surface current and historical technologies for domains mentioned in new files.
- Reduce manual research after receiving a prospect or partner brief.
- Keep the source brief as the context for the lookup.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Drive and BuiltWith once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name and prompt.
- 3In one instruction, tell Notis to find a confirmed root domain in each new file and request its BuiltWith domain profile.
- 4Choose the File Created trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real Drive file that names a website domain.

Free API Lookup

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.
