Why this helps

Actionable feedback in document comments can be easy to lose when task tracking lives in another system.

  • Give document feedback a prompt review path
  • Surface existing task boards alongside the comment context
  • Reduce the chance that a comment gets forgotten

  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a clear name.
  • 3Tell Notis to retrieve Connecteam task boards when a new comment is added and summarize any relevant context available.
  • 4Pick the Google Drive Comment Added trigger and choose where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real comment and check the summary.

Get Custom Field Categories

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.
