Review meeting cancellations when a file is removed

When a planning file disappears, check whether the related meeting still belongs on the calendar before taking action.

Trigger

File Deleted or Trashed

Triggers when a file is moved to trash or permanently deleted in Drive.

Action

Cancel booking via uid

Cancels an existing and active cal.com booking using its unique identifier (uid).

Why this helps

Removing a meeting document does not update the booking, leaving plans out of sync.

  • Notice a possible mismatch between files and bookings.
  • Review the booking uid before a cancellation.
  • Keep a human decision point for a consequential change.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Google Drive and Cal once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
  • 3In one instruction, ask Notis to find the likely related Cal booking and report its uid for your review before cancellation.
  • 4Pick the Google Drive File Deleted or Trashed trigger and choose where run reports go.
  • 5Test with a real file removal and verify the report identifies a booking before using the cancel action.

Questions about this workflow

Does this automatically cancel the booking?

The trigger and action pair can cancel by uid, but cancellation is consequential. Instruct Notis to report the candidate uid for review before using the cancel action.

What if the deleted file does not identify a booking?

The report should say it could not identify a reliable match. A booking uid is required for cancellation.

TriggerPolling

Check calendar availability

Retrieves free/busy availability for a specified calendar to aid scheduling without revealing event details; requires an existing, accessible calendar, noting that data granularity can vary.

ActionInstant

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.
