Get a CRM contact snapshot when Drive files match
Add a quick view of your contact base to a Drive-triggered review.
Trigger
New File Matching Query
Triggers when a new Google Drive file matches a provided query. This is the legacy query-centric trigger: it preserves Drive API query config such as ``corpora`` / ``driveId`` aliases and emits the historical ``file_matching_query`` event type. ``FileCreatedTrigger`` covers the broader "new file" case and emits ``file_created``.
Action
Stats People
Tool to retrieve key statistics about people. use when you need a quick summary of total entries, e.g., after filtering by tag or custom criteria.
Why this helps
A new lead document may prompt a question about CRM coverage, but the contact overview takes another app switch.
- Retrieve a quick people statistics summary when a matching file arrives.
- Keep statistics separate from unsupported assumptions about that file.
- Review the snapshot 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 the contact snapshot.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to retrieve CentralstationCRM people statistics and include the returned figures in the run report.
- 4Pick New File Matching Query and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real matching file and review the statistics.
Questions about this workflow
Are these statistics specific to the matching file?
No. The action returns people statistics. Do not interpret account-wide figures as specific to the file unless the action's returned data supports that.
Can it filter statistics by a tag?
Use only filters supported by the action and information available in your account. The instruction can summarize the returned statistics.

Create Deal

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.
