Keep campaign lists aligned with Drive sharing changes
A folder handoff can prompt a small, deliberate update to the related Campayn list.
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
Update List
Tool to update a contact list. use after confirming list id and desired changes. example: update list 123 name to 'newsletter subscribers'.
Why this helps
When folder access changes, campaign ownership and list notes can fall out of sync across tools.
- Surface a campaign handoff when access changes.
- Keep list details aligned with the process you describe.
- Receive a report when the folder or list cannot be identified.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Drive and Campayn once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3Describe what list information should change when a relevant folder is shared, and how Notis should identify that list.
- 4Pick the Google Drive File Shared trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real folder sharing change.
Questions about this workflow
Can the automation identify the right Campayn list by itself?
Give Notis a clear rule for identifying it, such as a list name or folder naming convention. If the relationship is not available, provide it in your instruction.
Does this change individual contacts?
No. This workflow uses the Campayn Update List action, so describe a list-level change.
