Collect page details from files matching a Drive query

Let the Drive query find the files, then extract the relevant page details from the URLs they contain.

Trigger

New File Matching Query

Triggers when a new Google Drive file matches a provided query. This is the legacy query-centric trigger: it preserves Drive API query config such as ``corpora`` / ``driveId`` aliases and emits the historical ``file_matching_query`` event type. ``FileCreatedTrigger`` covers the broader "new file" case and emits ``file_created``.

Action

Scrape HTML Elements

Tool to scrape HTML elements for text, HTML, attributes, and box metrics. Use when you need detailed data of matched selectors after rendering a page.

Why this helps

Query results can surface useful references, but opening every linked page still takes time and attention.

  • Pair Drive's query-centric discovery with focused webpage extraction.
  • Review matched elements without manually inspecting every page.
  • Summarize returned page data using a clear Notis prompt.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Google Drive and Cloudflare Browser Rendering once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, with a name, prompt, report channel, and trigger.
  • 3Tell Notis to locate a webpage URL in each matching file and extract the specified page elements with Cloudflare.
  • 4Pick the New File Matching Query trigger and choose where run reports go.
  • 5Test with one real file that matches the query and contains a URL.

Questions about this workflow

What makes this trigger different from File Created?

New File Matching Query is the legacy query-centric trigger and preserves Drive query configuration such as corpora and driveId aliases.

Can the workflow choose elements automatically?

Provide the selectors or details you care about in the instruction. The extraction action works on matched selectors.

TriggerPolling

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

File Updated

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