Review newly shared Drive files in ClickUp

A new sharing permission may call for a quick check. Have Notis create a review task with the file and sharing context available from Drive.

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

Create a task

Creates a new clickup task in a specific list, optionally as a subtask if a `parent` task id (which cannot be a subtask itself and must be in the same list) is provided.

Why this helps

Important access changes can be buried among routine sharing activity.

  • Make selected sharing changes visible
  • Keep access reviews in the work queue
  • Include file and permission context

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Google Drive and ClickUp once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation by describing the sharing changes that need review.
  • 3In one instruction, say which permission changes merit a task and what information to include.
  • 4Pick the Google Drive File Shared trigger and choose where run reports go.
  • 5Test with one real sharing change and check the resulting task.

Questions about this workflow

Can this create a task for every permission change?

You can ask Notis to create tasks for all detected sharing changes or only changes that match criteria in your instruction.

What sharing details are available?

The trigger includes the file's current permission set with the detected change. Ask Notis to include relevant available details in the task.
