Check prospect technology when a Drive file is shared
A shared prospect folder can kick off a live technology check, keeping research moving as collaborators get access.
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
MCP API Lookup
Tool to query live web technologies for a root domain. use after confirming a valid domain name.
Why this helps
Sharing a prospect folder often starts a handoff, but the website research still waits for someone to remember it.
- Pair a new sharing handoff with a live technology lookup.
- Use the shared file context to identify the relevant company domain.
- Give collaborators a concise result and run report.
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 provide a name and prompt.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to identify a confirmed root domain from the newly shared file context and run a live technology lookup.
- 4Choose the File Shared trigger and select a destination for run reports.
- 5Test with one real prospect file whose context clearly identifies its website.
Questions about this workflow
Does a new share automatically provide a website domain?
No. The file or folder context must identify a confirmed root domain; otherwise instruct Notis to skip the lookup and report the missing domain.
What does the live lookup return?
The MCP API Lookup queries live web technologies for a root domain.
