Action
List Tasks

Why this helps
File updates can be easy to miss when conversion work is tracked elsewhere, leaving you to remember to check task activity manually.
- Retrieve CloudConvert task records after a Drive update.
- Bring task review into the same automation run as the file change.
- Cut down on manual context switching between Drive and CloudConvert.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Drive and CloudConvert once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, with a name and prompt.
- 3Tell Notis to retrieve CloudConvert tasks when a Drive file is updated and summarize relevant returned activity.
- 4Pick the Google Drive File Updated trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real file update and review the run report.
Questions about this workflow
Will this find tasks that are definitely linked to the changed file?
Only if the available event and task data support that connection. If a reliable file-to-task identifier is not returned, provide the matching rule or identifier in your instruction.
Can this change or retry a CloudConvert task?
No. The listed CloudConvert task action retrieves tasks. It does not update or retry them.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Google Drive to Cloudconvert. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Google Drive triggers
Cloudconvert actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Create Export Google Cloud Storage Task
Tool to create a task to export files to a google cloud storage bucket. use after conversion when you need to store results directly into gcs. ensure service account credentials have the proper permissions.
Webhook trigger

Create Export S3 Task
Tool to create a task to export files to an amazon s3 bucket. use after conversion when you need to store results directly into s3. ensure aws credentials have s3:putobject (and putobjectacl if using non-default acl) permissions.
Comment Added (Docs/Sheets/Slides)

Create Webhook

Delete Webhook

File Deleted or Trashed

List Supported Formats
Tool to list all supported conversion formats, engines, and options. use when you need to discover available conversions before creating tasks.
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.
