Know when Drive access changes

A new sharing permission can be easy to miss. Route the change to a person who can review it promptly.

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

Send SMS Messages

Tool to send one or more SMS messages via ClickSend. Use when you need to send SMS messages to recipients. Supports up to 1000 messages per API call and provides detailed status for each message.

Why this helps

Access changes can go unnoticed when owners do not regularly inspect Drive sharing settings.

  • Surface permission changes for timely human review.
  • Include available file and permission context in the SMS.
  • Reduce the need to repeatedly audit sharing settings by hand.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Google Drive and ClickSend once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
  • 3Tell Notis in one instruction which reviewer to text when permissions are added and what details to include.
  • 4Choose the File Shared trigger and where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real sharing change and verify the message.
