Turn Drive Comments Into a Cody Review
A new comment can signal a decision, question, or needed follow-up. Bring it into a Cody review thread.
Trigger
Comment Added (Docs/Sheets/Slides)
Triggers when a new comment is added to Google Docs, Sheets, or Slides.
Action
Create Conversation
Tool to create a new conversation with a specified bot. Use when starting a new conversation thread with optional focus mode to limit bot's knowledge base to specific documents.
Why this helps
Comments can get buried in busy documents, leaving important questions without an owner or clear next step.
- Create a dedicated Cody thread for comment review.
- Make it easier to consider comments alongside company knowledge.
- Reduce the chance that document questions are overlooked.

Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Drive and Cody once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3Describe in one instruction how Cody should review a new document comment and its available context.
- 4Pick the Google Drive Comment Added trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real comment and review the Cody conversation.

Create Document From File

Create Document from Webpage
Tool to create a document from a publicly accessible webpage URL. Use when you need to import content from a webpage into Cody AI. The webpage must be accessible without login. If request fails, ensure the URL is publicly accessible and not blocked by a firewall.
File Deleted or Trashed
Triggers when a file is moved to trash or permanently deleted in Drive.
Create Folder
Tool to create a new folder in Cody AI for organizing content. Use when you need to create a folder to organize documents or conversations.
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 Conversation
Tool to delete a conversation by its ID. Use when you need to permanently remove a conversation from the system.
File Updated
Triggers when a file's metadata or content changes in Google Drive.
