Give Drive comment follow-up a Contentful reference

Comments can contain decisions or questions that need a content owner. Get the comment context and available Contentful spaces together for easier follow-up.

Trigger

Comment Added (Docs/Sheets/Slides)

Triggers when a new comment is added to Google Docs, Sheets, or Slides.

Action

List spaces

Lists all spaces that the authenticated user has access to in contentful. this is a fundamental operation needed before performing any other content management actions since most operations require a space id.

Why this helps

Useful content decisions in document comments can get separated from the Contentful space where work is organized.

  • Keep comment context and available Contentful spaces in one report.
  • Make it easier to follow up on content decisions without searching both apps.
  • Reduce the chance that a useful comment gets overlooked.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Google Drive and Contentful once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation named Comment Space Reference.
  • 3Tell Notis to summarize the new comment and list Contentful spaces for follow-up context.
  • 4Pick the Google Drive Comment Added trigger and choose where run reports go.
  • 5Test with one real comment on a Doc, Sheet, or Slide.

Questions about this workflow

Will this post the comment into Contentful?

No. The available action lists Contentful spaces; it does not create or update entries.

Can the report identify the correct space?

Notis can use space names and any guidance you include in your instruction. Add your team's conventions if names alone are unclear.

TriggerPolling

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.

File Updated

Triggers when a file's metadata or content changes in Google Drive.
