Start outreach organization when a Drive brief appears
A new campaign brief can kick off a Cardly contact list, giving the outreach work a clear place to gather contacts later.
Trigger
File Created
Triggers when a new file is created in Google Drive.
Action
Create Contact List
Tool to add a new contact list. use after defining name and optional custom fields, before populating the list with contacts.
Why this helps
Campaign setup gets fragmented when briefs are created without a matching place to organize outreach.
- Create a Cardly list as soon as a brief is added.
- Keep outreach preparation connected to campaign planning.
- Use a consistent named list for future contact population.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Drive and Cardly once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create a new automation in the portal or tell Notis from any channel.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to create a Cardly contact list using the campaign name in each new designated Drive brief.
- 4Pick the Google Drive File Created trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with a real brief that includes a clear campaign name.
Questions about this workflow
Will this add contacts to the list?
No. The selected action creates a contact list. Adding contacts requires an action that is not in the allowed action list.
What if the brief has no campaign name?
Provide a naming fallback in your instruction or ask Notis to report that the name is missing instead of creating a list.
Can it add custom fields?
The action can create a list with optional custom fields when their names and purpose are supplied.

Generate Preview
Tool to generate a low-quality, watermarked preview document for a card. use after confirming artwork and template details to estimate costs and delivery.
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.
