Pause for a quick check when a Drive file disappears

A deleted file may affect a project or handoff. Ask your bot to help assess the change and surface a follow-up question.

Trigger

File Deleted or Trashed

Triggers when a file is moved to trash or permanently deleted in Drive.

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

A deletion can go unnoticed until someone needs the file for a task or decision.

  • Bring deletion events into a conversation for review.
  • Prompt an impact check while the event is fresh.
  • Include project context in your instruction when needed.

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 available file deletion details and request an impact check in the conversation you identify or provide; include any project context the bot needs.
  • 4Pick the Google Drive File Deleted or Trashed trigger and choose where run reports go.
  • 5Test with one real deletion event and review the bot's reply.

Questions about this workflow

Can the bot restore a deleted file?

No. The listed Chatbotkit actions can message conversations and retrieve information, but they cannot restore Drive files.

Can it determine the file's project impact automatically?

Only if the relevant context is available in the event or supplied in your instruction. Add project details if the bot needs them.

ActionInstant

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.
