Find a Certifier group for a matching Drive file
Use the file that matters as the cue to surface your Certifier groups and reduce the setup hunt.
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
List Groups
Tool to list all groups. use when you need to retrieve groups with pagination (limit and cursor).
Why this helps
A founder can have the right file and recipient details but still lose time searching for the relevant credential group.
- Starts only for a new Drive file that matches the provided query.
- Retrieves available Certifier groups for a focused lookup.
- Reduces time spent switching from a relevant file to group discovery.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Drive and Certifier once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation named for group lookup from matching files.
- 3Tell Notis to retrieve Certifier groups when a matching file appears and report the group options relevant to that file for your review.
- 4Choose the New File Matching Query trigger, provide the query, and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real file that matches the query.
Questions about this workflow
Does the query select a Certifier group automatically?
The action lists groups. Notis can report relevant options using the file context, but you should review the result before using a group to issue credentials.
What starts this workflow?
A new Google Drive file matching the query you provide starts it.
Can the group list be paginated?
The List Groups action supports pagination. Ask Notis to retrieve additional pages if the relevant group is not in the first results.

List Designs

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.
