Collect acknowledgments after a policy update
Policy updates can be easy to miss. Have Notis create an acknowledgment form from the updated Drive document so your team has a clear way to confirm they have read it.
Trigger
File Updated
Triggers when a file's metadata or content changes in Google Drive.
Action
Create form
Tool to create a new form. use when you need to define and store a form structure.
Why this helps
After changing a policy, founders can lose track of who needs to acknowledge the new version.
- Turn policy changes into a clear follow-up
- Make acknowledgments easier to collect
- Reduce manual coordination after revisions
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Drive and Byteforms once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation from Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis from any channel.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to create a Byteforms form with an acknowledgment prompt based on the updated policy.
- 4Pick the Google Drive File Updated trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real policy update and review the resulting form.
Questions about this workflow
Does this collect acknowledgments automatically?
This workflow creates the form. People still need to submit it, and you can review their responses separately.
What should the policy contain?
Keep the current policy text clear and accessible in Drive so Notis can base the acknowledgment prompt on it.

Get Form Responses
Tool to retrieve responses for a specific form with optional pagination and filtering. use when the form has collected submissions and you need to navigate large result sets.
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.
