Move new Drive comments toward a decision
Comments can quietly become a second inbox. Ask your bot to summarize the new comment and suggest a useful next step.
Trigger
Comment Added (Docs/Sheets/Slides)
Triggers when a new comment is added to Google Docs, Sheets, or Slides.
Action
Complete Conversation
Tool to send a message to a conversation and receive the bot’s reply. use after retrieving or initiating a conversation id.
Why this helps
Important questions in document comments are easy to forget when they compete with email and chat.
- Bring new document questions into a conversational workflow.
- Get a suggested response or next step promptly.
- Keep the original comment as context for review.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Drive and Chatbotkit once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to summarize the new comment and request a suggested reply or next step in a conversation you identify or provide.
- 4Pick the Google Drive Comment Added trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real comment and review the bot's reply.
Questions about this workflow
Does the bot post its response back as a Drive comment?
No. The available Chatbotkit action sends a message to a conversation and returns the bot's reply. It does not edit Google Drive comments.
Can I choose which comments matter?
Describe the outcome you want in your instruction. The trigger fires when a new comment is added; it does not provide a filter-building screen.

List conversation messages
Tool to list messages in a conversation with pagination. use after obtaining a conversation id to fetch messages page by page.
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.
