Notis

Keep new Drive documents on their ClickUp task

Put the working document next to its tracked work. Notis can attach a new Drive file to the ClickUp task it belongs with.

Trigger

File Created

Triggers when a new file is created in Google Drive.

Action

Create task attachment

Uploads a file as an attachment to a specified clickup task, requiring `multipart/form-data` for file upload.

Why this helps

People lose time switching between a task and the Drive document needed to complete it.

  • Keep relevant documents close to tasks
  • Reduce time spent searching for source files
  • Give task owners direct access to supporting material

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Google Drive and ClickUp once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation by describing which files should be attached to tasks.
  • 3In one instruction, explain how to identify the related task and what to do if the match is unclear.
  • 4Pick the Google Drive File Created trigger and choose where run reports go.
  • 5Test with one real file and confirm the attachment on the task.

Questions about this workflow

Can Notis attach any file type?

The attachment action uploads a file to a ClickUp task. Whether a file can be processed depends on what the Drive event makes available.

What happens when there is no clear task match?

Ask Notis to report the file for review instead of attaching it to an uncertain task.

Supported Triggers and Actions

Notis builds workflows that link Google Drive to Clickup. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.

Google Drive triggers

Clickup actions

Recurring trigger

Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.

TriggerScheduled

Add dependency

Adds a 'waiting on' or 'blocking' dependency to a task, requiring either `depends on` (task becomes waiting on) or `dependency of` (task becomes blocking), but not both; `team id` is required if `custom task ids` is true.

ActionInstant

Webhook trigger

Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.

TriggerInstant

Add guest to folder

Adds a guest to a folder with specified permissions; requires a clickup enterprise plan.

ActionInstant

Comment Added (Docs/Sheets/Slides)

Triggers when a new comment is added to Google Docs, Sheets, or Slides.

TriggerPolling

Add guest to list

Shares a clickup list with an existing guest user, granting them specified permissions; requires the workspace to be on the clickup enterprise plan.

ActionInstant

File Created

Triggers when a new file is created in Google Drive.

TriggerPolling

Add guest to task

Assigns a guest to a task with specified permissions; requires clickup enterprise plan, and `team id` if `custom task ids` is true.

ActionInstant

File Deleted or Trashed

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

TriggerPolling

Add tags from time entries

Associates a list of specified tags with one or more time entries within a given team (workspace).

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.

TriggerPolling

Add tag to task

Adds an existing tag to a specified task; team id is required if custom task ids is true.

ActionInstant

File Updated

Triggers when a file's metadata or content changes in Google Drive.

TriggerPolling

Add task link

Links two existing and accessible clickup tasks, identified by `task id` (source) and `links to` (target).

ActionInstant

Google Drive Changes

Triggers when changes are detected in a Google Drive.

TriggerPolling

Add task to list

Adds an existing task to an additional clickup list; the "tasks in multiple lists" clickapp must be enabled in the workspace for this.

ActionInstant

Connect any two apps with Notis in the middle.

Google Drive and Clickup, or any other combination from 1,000+ integrations.
