Examples

Ways Notis can move work from Google Drive to Codereadr

View example

Turn a New Drive SOP Into a CodeREADr Service

Create a CodeREADr service when a new operating procedure is added to Google Drive, using the document's instructions to shape the scanning workflow.

View example

Turn Procedure Comments Into Scan Form Questions

Use new comments on a Drive procedure to add relevant follow-up questions to a CodeREADr scan form after the service is identified.

View example

Generate a CodeREADr Scan Link When a Drive File Is Shared

When a file is shared in Drive, generate a CodeREADr scan link for the specified identifier so collaborators can open the scanner with that ID prefilled.

View example

Refresh a CodeREADr Service After a Procedure Changes

When a Drive procedure changes, review its updated instructions and apply relevant changes to the identified CodeREADr service.

View example

Set CodeREADr Response Fields From a Matching Drive Spec

When a new Drive file matches a specified query, use its requirements to create or update the response fields returned with CodeREADr scan data.

View example

Schedule a CodeREADr Scan Records Report

Run a recurring retrieval of CodeREADr scan records using the filters you specify and send the result to your chosen Notis report channel.

View example

Configure a CodeREADr Scan Callback From a Webhook

Start a Notis automation through an HTTP webhook and configure the Direct Scan URL postback settings for the CodeREADr service identified in the request.

View example

Review CodeREADr Services After Drive Changes

When Drive reports changes, retrieve the CodeREADr service list so Notis can summarize the available services alongside the change context for follow-up.

View example

Review CodeREADr Databases When a Drive File Is Removed

When a Drive file is trashed or deleted, retrieve CodeREADr validation databases and report which ones may need an owner review based on the file context.

Supported Triggers and Actions

Notis builds workflows that link Google Drive to Codereadr. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.

Google Drive triggers

Codereadr actions

Recurring trigger

Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.

TriggerScheduled

Collect Data With Questions

Tool to configure data collection forms by adding custom questions. Use after creating a service to collect survey questions after each scan.

ActionInstant

Webhook trigger

Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.

TriggerInstant

Configure CodeREADr Connector

Helper to guide configuring the CodeREADr Connector for Google Sheets. There is no public API to programmatically create connector configurations. This tool validates your API connectivity (optional) and returns clear steps to proceed via the Google Sheets Add-on UI: https://www.codereadr.com/knowledgebase/codereadr-connector-add-on/

ActionInstant

Comment Added (Docs/Sheets/Slides)

Triggers when a new comment is added to Google Docs, Sheets, or Slides.

TriggerPolling

Configure Direct Scan URL (DSU)

Tool to configure a Direct Scan URL (DSU). Use after obtaining a valid service ID to set up scan callbacks. Use when you need to enable or update the DSU postback settings for a CodeREADr service.

ActionInstant

File Created

Triggers when a new file is created in Google Drive.

TriggerPolling

Configure CodeREADr Kiosk Mode

Tool to enable and configure Kiosk Mode for unattended scanning. Use when setting up a dedicated scanning kiosk after service setup.

ActionInstant

File Deleted or Trashed

Triggers when a file is moved to trash or permanently deleted in Drive.

TriggerPolling

Configure Picking, Delivery & Receiving App

Tool to configure the complete picking, delivery, and receiving workflow. Use when setting up scan workflow endpoints for an existing CodeREADr service.

ActionInstant

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

Configure CodeREADr Postback URL

Tool to configure a real-time postback URL for a CodeREADr service. Use when you need to set up or modify scan forwarding for an existing service.

ActionInstant

File Updated

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

TriggerPolling

Create CodeREADr Service

Tool to create a new workflow configuration (service) for scanning tasks. Use after obtaining a valid API key when registering a new Service.

ActionInstant

Google Drive Changes

Triggers when changes are detected in a Google Drive.

TriggerPolling

Delete CodeREADr Database

Tool to delete an existing CodeREADr database. Use when you need to remove a database by its ID after confirming you no longer need its data. Example prompt: "Delete database with ID 123e4567-e89b-12d3-a456-426614174000".

Trigger Types

Four ways to start an automation.

A trigger is the event that kicks a workflow off. Notis supports four kinds: an event in a connected app, an inbound webhook, a recurring schedule, and soon, your own database.

Integration triggers

Fire when something happens inside a connected app. New Notion page, Stripe charge, Linear issue: any of 1,000+ apps can start a workflow.

New Notion pageStripe chargeCalendar event

Webhook triggers

A unique URL per workflow. Anything that can send an HTTP POST can start an automation, including no-code tools that speak webhooks.

Any HTTP POSTCustom backendIoT event

Recurring triggers

Cron-style schedules run a workflow on the clock. Daily standups, hourly syncs, business-hours-only digests: the workhorse of Notis.

Database triggers

Watch a row, query, or threshold in your own database and fire the moment the data changes. Row inserted, value crosses a limit, query starts matching.

Why AI automation

Classic automation breaks. AI adapts.

Same triggers and actions, smarter middle. AI handles the fuzziness that breaks traditional Zapier-style workflows the moment a field gets renamed.
