Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Drive and Chatfai once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name and prompt.
- 3Tell Notis to find a Chatfai public character ID in each new file, retrieve that character's public details, and include the file context in the run report.
- 4Pick the Google Drive File Created trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real file containing a public Chatfai character ID.
Questions about this workflow
What information does this automation need?
The new Drive file must contain the unique ID of a public Chatfai character. If Notis cannot find a usable ID, the file does not provide enough information for the lookup.
Does this start a Chatfai conversation?
No. The available Chatfai action retrieves a public character by ID. It does not start a conversation or roleplay session.

File Created
Triggers when a new file is created in Google Drive.
File Deleted or Trashed
Triggers when a file is moved to trash or permanently deleted in Drive.
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.
File Updated
Triggers when a file's metadata or content changes in Google Drive.
Google Drive Changes
Triggers when changes are detected in a Google Drive.
