Turn contact requests in Drive comments into CRM people

A request in a document comment can reach the CRM without waiting for someone to notice it later.

Trigger

Comment Added (Docs/Sheets/Slides)

Triggers when a new comment is added to Google Docs, Sheets, or Slides.

Action

Create Person

Tool to create a new person record. use when you need to add a person to your crm before linking them to other records.

Why this helps

Contact requests buried in document comments are easy to miss during a busy workday.

  • Act on explicit requests to add a person from a Drive comment.
  • Use contact details present in the comment or referenced content.
  • Skip ambiguous requests and surface them in the run report.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Google Drive and CentralstationCRM once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it for comment requests.
  • 3In one instruction, ask Notis to create a person only when a new comment explicitly requests it and contains usable contact details.
  • 4Pick Comment Added and choose where run reports go.
  • 5Test with one real comment that requests a contact and review the result.

Questions about this workflow

Will every comment create a person?

No. The instruction should limit creation to explicit contact requests with usable details.

Can Notis use the referenced document?

Use the comment and file context returned by the trigger. If the needed details are not available in that context, include them in the comment or ask Notis to report what is missing.

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.
