Create Connecteam users from a new staff roster
Drop a staff roster into Drive and ask Notis to create the listed Connecteam accounts, so onboarding does not get lost in another handoff.
Trigger
File Created
Triggers when a new file is created in Google Drive.
Action
Create Users
Tool to create multiple users in connecteam. use when you need to add several staff or admin accounts at once.
Why this helps
Copying new hire details from a document into a team system creates avoidable admin and delays access setup.
- Reduce manual copying during staff onboarding
- Start Connecteam account setup as soon as a roster is added
- Keep the roster as the reference for which accounts to create
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Drive and Connecteam once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a clear name.
- 3Tell Notis to read each new staff roster and create the listed users in Connecteam.
- 4Pick the Google Drive File Created trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real roster and review the result.
Questions about this workflow
Does this work with every file type?
The trigger detects a newly created Drive file. Whether Notis can read its contents depends on the file and the information available to the connected tools.
Will it create accounts for people who are not listed?
The instruction should limit creation to people listed in the roster. Review the test run and the roster before relying on the automation.
Can it assign shifts too?
This workflow uses the Connecteam Create Users action. Shift assignment is not among the listed actions.

Get Custom Field Categories
Tool to retrieve all custom field categories. use when you need to list or filter custom field categories in your connecteam account.
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.
Get Custom Fields
Tool to retrieve all custom fields associated with the account. use when you need to filter, sort, or page through custom fields after authentication.
