Make new Drive sharing easier to review

A new permission can be easy to miss. Ask your bot to surface the sharing change details and help you decide whether it needs follow-up.

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

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

Sharing changes are hard to keep track of across folders and files when access is granted throughout the day.

  • Bring permission changes to a review conversation.
  • Get a concise summary of the available change details.
  • Make access follow-up easier to remember.

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 available new permission details and request any review question in the Chatbotkit conversation you identify or provide.
  • 4Pick the Google Drive File Shared (Permissions Added) trigger and choose where run reports go.
  • 5Test with one real sharing change and review the bot's reply.

Questions about this workflow

Will the workflow include the new permission details?

This trigger uses Drive changes with inline current permissions, which Notis can compare against its seen permission keys. The exact details available in a run depend on the event data.

Does it change or revoke access?

No. The listed Chatbotkit action sends a message and receives a reply; it does not modify Drive permissions.
