Trigger
File Created
Triggers when a new file is created in Google Drive.
Action

Why this helps
New client or lead details can sit in Drive while you switch contexts and forget to add them to your CRM.
- Capture contact details from newly created intake files.
- Skip creating a person when the file does not contain enough identifying information.
- Review the automation run report for each attempt.
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 give it a name.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to extract clearly supplied contact details from each new intake file and create a CentralstationCRM person only when there is enough information.
- 4Pick the Google Drive File Created trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real intake file and review the result.
Questions about this workflow
Will this invent missing contact details?
No. Ask Notis to use only details present in the file and skip creation when required identifying information is missing.
Can it tell which new files are intake forms?
Describe the intended file type in your instruction. Notis uses the event and returned file information; it cannot rely on a field or document history Drive does not provide.

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.
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.
