Keep a record of new Drive sharing permissions
New access can be easy to overlook. Record sharing changes in Confluence so they are easier to review.
Trigger
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.
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
Permission changes across Drive files and folders can go unnoticed when they happen during busy work.
- Make new sharing changes visible for follow-up.
- Keep a review trail linked to the affected Drive item.
- Reduce the chance that access changes are forgotten.
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 review note with the affected item, new permissions available in the event, and any follow-up question.
- 4Pick the Google Drive File Shared trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real sharing change and verify the note reflects the available permission details.
Questions about this workflow
What permission details can the note include?
The trigger uses Drive changes with inline permissions, so the event carries the file's current permission set. Ask Notis to summarize the details it receives.
Does the workflow decide whether sharing is appropriate?
It can record the change and flag it for review. A policy or approved-access baseline must be supplied if you want it to assess whether access is appropriate.
