Remember which documentation may reference deleted Drive files
A removed source can leave broken references behind. Capture the deletion and make cleanup easier to track.
Trigger
File Deleted or Trashed
Triggers when a file is moved to trash or permanently deleted in Drive.
Action
Create Page
Tool to create a new confluence page in a specified space. use when you need to create new documentation or content.
Why this helps
When a file disappears from Drive, people may not know which notes or procedures need a replacement link.
- Keep a record of removed or trashed source files.
- Prompt a review of documentation that may link to the file.
- Preserve the deletion context available in the trigger.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Drive and Confluence once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to create a Confluence cleanup note with the file details provided and a reminder to check for references that need replacement.
- 4Pick the Google Drive File Deleted or Trashed trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real deletion event and confirm the note includes the available file details.
Questions about this workflow
Can this find every Confluence page that links to the deleted file?
This workflow records the deletion. The listed Confluence search action searches page content by relevance and does not guarantee a complete link inventory.
Does the event distinguish trash from permanent deletion?
The event covers a file moved to trash or permanently deleted. Use the event details available to describe what happened.

Create Whiteboard Property
Tool to create a new content property on a whiteboard. use when you need to attach custom metadata to a confluence whiteboard.
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.
