Look up Codemagic app details from a Drive handoff
Get the app details you need beside the handoff document that references it.
Trigger
File Created
Triggers when a new file is created in Google Drive.
Action
Retrieve an Application
Tool to retrieve a single application by its unique identifier. Use when you need to get application details including name, branches, and workflow configuration.
Why this helps
A handoff can name an app without including the branch or workflow details someone needs to continue.
- Retrieve application details when a handoff arrives.
- Reduce time spent searching the Codemagic app list.
- Make the available app information visible in a run report.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Drive and Codemagic once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name and prompt.
- 3Tell Notis to identify the application referenced in a new handoff file, retrieve its details, and report any ambiguity.
- 4Pick the Google Drive File Created trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real handoff that clearly identifies a Codemagic application.
Questions about this workflow
Can the workflow retrieve an application if the handoff uses an informal name?
It can try to identify the application from the available app data. Instruct Notis to report ambiguous matches rather than assume which application was intended.
Does the lookup start a build?
No. This workflow retrieves application details and reports them. Use a build action if the desired outcome is to start a build.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Google Drive to Codemagic. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Google Drive triggers
Codemagic actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Add Application from Private Repository
Tool to create an application from a private repository using SSH key authentication. Use when you need to add a new private repository to Codemagic with SSH credentials.
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Add New Application
Tool to add a Git repository to the applications list in Codemagic. Use when you need to add a new application to Codemagic from a repository URL.
Comment Added (Docs/Sheets/Slides)
Triggers when a new comment is added to Google Docs, Sheets, or Slides.
Get Meta Information
Tool to get metadata about Codemagic including public IP addresses in use (in CIDR notation). Use when you need to retrieve IP blocks for whitelisting build machines or simulator network requests.
File Created
Triggers when a new file is created in Google Drive.
Get Variable Group Information
Tool to retrieve information about a specific variable group including its name and configuration settings. Use when you need to get details for a variable group by its ID.
File Deleted or Trashed
Triggers when a file is moved to trash or permanently deleted in Drive.
Update Variable Group
Tool to change a variable group's name and security settings. Use when you need to update an existing variable group by its ID. Returns success confirmation on 204 No Content response.
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 All Application Caches
Tool to delete all caches for a specific application. Use when clearing all cached data for an app. The deletion process is asynchronous and will complete after the API response is returned.
File Updated
Triggers when a file's metadata or content changes in Google Drive.
Delete Specific Cache
Tool to delete a specific cache from an application. Use when a cached build artifact needs to be removed. The deletion is performed asynchronously and returns immediately with a 202 Accepted status.
Google Drive Changes
Triggers when changes are detected in a Google Drive.
Get Account Info for Over-the-Air Updates
Tool to retrieve account information for over-the-air updates. Use when you need to check the account status (enabled/disabled/pending) and associated team identifier.
