Keep track of important files removed from Drive
Create a consistent note when a file is moved to trash or permanently deleted, so you can decide whether follow-up is needed.
Trigger
File Deleted or Trashed
Triggers when a file is moved to trash or permanently deleted in Drive.
Action
Execute Code
Execute python code in a sandbox and return any result, stdout, stderr, and error. use /home/user folder to write/read files. try to not use plt.show() as the code is executed remotely. use files for image/chart output instead.
Why this helps
A removed file can affect a process or deliverable, but the reason and downstream impact may be unclear later.
- Create a consistent record of file removal events
- Surface missing context for a follow-up decision
- Reduce time spent reconstructing what changed
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Drive and Codeinterpreter once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation for removed file follow-up.
- 3Describe the details to include and how to note missing impact context in one instruction.
- 4Pick File Deleted or Trashed as the trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real file removal event.
Questions about this workflow
Can it know what downstream work depends on the file?
Only if that relationship is included in the event data or supplied in your instruction or reference data. Otherwise, the note can identify that the impact is unknown.
Does this cover both trashing and permanent deletion?
Yes. The trigger covers files moved to trash or permanently deleted in Drive.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Google Drive to Codeinterpreter. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Google Drive triggers
Codeinterpreter actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Create Sandbox
Create a sandbox to execute python code in a jupyter notebook cell. this is useful for agents to communicate, execute code, see output, read files, write files, etc. it's like you own personal computer, but in the cloud. use /home/user folder to write/read files.
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Execute Code
Execute python code in a sandbox and return any result, stdout, stderr, and error. use /home/user folder to write/read files. try to not use plt.show() as the code is executed remotely. use files for image/chart output instead.
Comment Added (Docs/Sheets/Slides)
Triggers when a new comment is added to Google Docs, Sheets, or Slides.
Get File
Get a file from the sandbox and returns the file. the files should be read from /home/user folder.
File Created
Triggers when a new file is created in Google Drive.
Run Terminal Command
Run a command in the terminal and returns the stdout, stderr, and error code. use /home/user folder to write/read files.
File Deleted or Trashed
Triggers when a file is moved to trash or permanently deleted in Drive.
Upload File
Upload a file to the sandbox environment. the files should be uploaded to the /home/user folder.
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.
