Capture partner companies from new Drive shares

Keep a newly shared partner folder connected to your company records when the organization is clearly identified.

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

Create Company

Tool to create a new company record. use when you need to add an organization to your crm before linking it to contacts or deals.

Why this helps

External partner folders can become active collaboration spaces without a matching organization record in the CRM.

  • Use the sharing event as a prompt to review partner context.
  • Create a company only when the organization identity is clear.
  • Avoid inferring company identity from an email domain alone when uncertain.

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 partner shares.
  • 3In one instruction, ask Notis to create a company only when the available file or permission context clearly names the organization.
  • 4Pick File Shared (Permissions Added) and choose where run reports go.
  • 5Test with one real partner folder share and review the record.

Questions about this workflow

Can the recipient email identify the company?

It may help, but an email domain alone may be ambiguous. Ask Notis to create a company only when the organization is clearly identified.

Will every shared folder create a company?

No. The instruction should limit creation to clearly identified partner organizations.
