Turn training comments into a course coverage check
A useful training request can be buried in a document comment. Have Notis retrieve the course list and summarize whether it appears to address the request, so the next step is easier to see.
Trigger
Comment Added (Docs/Sheets/Slides)
Triggers when a new comment is added to Google Docs, Sheets, or Slides.
Action
Get Courses
Tool to retrieve all courses with optional filters and pagination. use when you need to list courses after setting identifier and client identifier, and control page size and number.
Why this helps
Training requests in comments are easy to overlook, and checking course coverage takes a separate context switch.
- Bring comment-based requests into a course coverage review.
- See likely matches and unanswered needs in a single report.
- Reduce the chance that a training request gets lost in document discussion.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Drive and Coassemble once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name and prompt.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to compare each new comment's request with Coassemble courses and summarize likely coverage or gaps.
- 4Pick the Google Drive Comment Added trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real comment and review the report.

Get Trackings

Get Users
Tool to retrieve a paginated list of users. use when you need to browse or process user records optionally filtered by clientidentifier.
File Deleted or Trashed
Triggers when a file is moved to trash or permanently deleted in Drive.
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.
File Updated
Triggers when a file's metadata or content changes in Google Drive.
Google Drive Changes
Triggers when changes are detected in a Google Drive.
