Review Cloudinary references after a Drive deletion
When a Drive source disappears, Notis can look up its referenced Cloudinary asset and report its current details for review.
Trigger
File Deleted or Trashed
Triggers when a file is moved to trash or permanently deleted in Drive.
Action
Get Resource by Public ID
Tool to get details of a single resource by public id. use when you need full asset, derived, and related info.
Why this helps
Deleting a source file can leave uncertainty about whether a separately stored media asset is still in use.
- Find details for a referenced asset after source removal
- Prompt a deliberate review of related media
- Keep the deletion signal and lookup result together
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Drive and Cloudinary once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation from Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis from any channel.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to retrieve a Cloudinary resource by the public ID available in the deleted file event and report details for human review.
- 4Pick the Google Drive File Deleted or Trashed trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real event that includes a usable public ID.
Questions about this workflow
Will this delete the related Cloudinary asset?
No. It retrieves the asset details only. Deleting Cloudinary resources is a separate, irreversible action and is not part of this workflow.
What if the deleted file event has no public ID?
Notis should report that there was not enough information for a lookup.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Google Drive to Cloudinary. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Google Drive triggers
Cloudinary actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Create Folder
Tool to create a new asset folder. use when you need to organize assets into nested directories. use after confirming the folder path does not already exist.
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Create Metadata Field
Tool to create a new metadata field definition. use when extending your metadata schema with new fields.
Comment Added (Docs/Sheets/Slides)
Triggers when a new comment is added to Google Docs, Sheets, or Slides.
Create Trigger
Tool to create a new webhook trigger for a specified event type. use after configuring your webhook endpoint and choosing the event type. example: "create a trigger for uploads to https://example.com/hooks/cloudinary"
File Created

Create Upload Mapping
Tool to create a new upload mapping folder and url template. use when you need to dynamically map external url prefixes to a cloudinary asset folder before uploading files.
File Deleted or Trashed
Triggers when a file is moved to trash or permanently deleted in Drive.
Create Upload Preset
Tool to create a new upload preset. use when defining centralized upload options (tags, formats, transformations, etc.) before asset uploads.
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.
Delete Derived Resources
Tool to delete derived assets. use when you need to remove specific derived assets by their ids. example: "delete derived assets with ids [id1, id2]".
File Updated
Triggers when a file's metadata or content changes in Google Drive.
Delete Metadata Field Datasource Entries
Tool to delete datasource entries for a specified metadata field. use when you need to soft-delete (inactivate) specific entries in a field's datasource. example prompt: "delete entries ['color1','color2'] from metadata field 'color id'"
Google Drive Changes
Triggers when changes are detected in a Google Drive.
Delete Folder
Tool to delete an empty asset folder. use when the folder is confirmed empty and you need to remove it.
