Give every new Drive draft Contentful context
A new draft can be easy to miss when work is spread across Drive and Contentful. Get the file context and your available spaces together in one run report.
Trigger
File Created
Triggers when a new file is created in Google Drive.
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
You have to switch apps and remember which Contentful space could hold a new draft.
- See new draft context alongside the spaces your team can use.
- Reduce app switching before deciding where content belongs.
- Keep a run report to revisit when you are ready to publish.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Drive and Contentful once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation named New Draft Space Context.
- 3Tell Notis to summarize the new file details and list Contentful spaces in the run report.
- 4Pick the Google Drive File Created trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real draft file.
Questions about this workflow
Does this create a Contentful entry?
No. The available Contentful action lists spaces; it does not create entries.
Can Notis decide which space is right?
You can ask Notis to compare the file context with space names, but provide any naming conventions it needs. The list action does not return editorial rules.

Comment Added (Docs/Sheets/Slides)
Triggers when a new comment is added to Google Docs, Sheets, or Slides.
Update space
Updates the name of a specific space. notes: - the version number is required to ensure you're updating the latest version of the space. - you can get the current version from the sys.version field when fetching space details. - only the name of the space can be updated.
File Created
Triggers when a new file is created in Google Drive.
File Deleted or Trashed
Triggers when a file is moved to trash or permanently deleted in Drive.
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.
Google Drive Changes
Triggers when changes are detected in a Google Drive.
