  • 4Pick the Google Drive File Created trigger.
  • 5Choose a report channel, then test with one real proposal.

Questions about this workflow

What details will Notis use?

Will it create a lead from every new Drive file?

The trigger is File Created. In your instruction, tell Notis to act only when the new file is a proposal and skip other files.

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.
