Trigger
File Created
Triggers when a new file is created in Google Drive.
Action
Create, issue, and send credential
Tool to create, issue, and send a credential in a single request. use when group id and recipient details are ready.
Why this helps
Copying recipients from a spreadsheet into a credential tool invites errors and leaves founders juggling another follow-up task.
- Cuts repetitive copying between Drive and Certifier.
- Uses the combined create, issue, and send action when group and recipient details are ready.
- Keeps the trigger tied to a real new Drive file.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Drive and Certifier once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation named for issuing credentials from a roster.
- 3Tell Notis: when a new Drive file is a recipient roster, use its contents to create, issue, and send the appropriate credential only if the group and recipient details are present; flag missing details in the run report.
- 4Choose the Google Drive File Created trigger and select where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real roster file and confirm the outcome.
Questions about this workflow
Does this work with every new Drive file?
The trigger is File Created. In your instruction, tell Notis how to recognize a recipient roster and what to do if the file does not contain the required information.
What information must be ready to issue a credential?
The Certifier action requires a group and recipient details. Supply those in the roster or your instruction, and have Notis report missing details instead of guessing.
Does this workflow send the credential?
Yes. Action 3175 creates, issues, and sends the credential in one request when the required details are ready.

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.
List Groups
Tool to list all groups. use when you need to retrieve groups with pagination (limit and cursor).
File Updated
Triggers when a file's metadata or content changes in Google Drive.
