Composio DuckDuckGo Search

The duckduckgosearch class utilizes the composio duckduckgo search api to perform searches, focusing on web information and details. it leverages the duckduckgo search engine via the composio duckduckgo search api to retrieve relevant web data based on the provided query.

Why this helps

Quick research requests can sit in a queue while you switch apps to search, collect links, and summarize the useful ones.

  • Start research from an HTTP request.
  • Use the supplied Drive reference or question as search context.
  • Receive search results in the report channel you choose.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Google Drive and Composio search once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
  • 3Tell Notis to use the question and any Drive reference supplied in the request to run a DuckDuckGo search and report useful links.
  • 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
  • 5Test by sending one real request with a clear question or document reference.

Questions about this workflow

What starts the workflow?

An HTTP request to the automation's Notis webhook starts it.

Does a Drive link alone provide document content?

The automation can only use context available to it. Include the question or relevant text in the request if needed.

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.
