Check query-matched Drive files for existing Contentful content
Catch overlap while new material is still fresh. Search Contentful when a file matches your Drive query and review likely related entries.
Trigger
New File Matching Query
Triggers when a new Google Drive file matches a provided query. This is the legacy query-centric trigger: it preserves Drive API query config such as ``corpora`` / ``driveId`` aliases and emits the historical ``file_matching_query`` event type. ``FileCreatedTrigger`` covers the broader "new file" case and emits ``file_created``.
Action
GraphQL Content API Query
Tool to execute a GraphQL query against a specified space and environment. Use when fetching Contentful content via GraphQL after obtaining or providing a valid token.
Why this helps
Teams can create overlapping content because a new file is not checked against the CMS early enough.
- Spot possible overlap before more work is invested
- Reduce manual CMS searches for incoming material
- Give reviewers a concise list of similar entries
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Drive and Contentful graphql once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation for checking incoming matching files against Contentful.
- 3Tell Notis to search Contentful using available file details and report entries that appear similar, noting that matches need human review.
- 4Pick the Google Drive New File Matching Query trigger and choose a report channel.
- 5Test with one real matching file and review the report.
Questions about this workflow
Does this delete or merge duplicate content?
No. It reports possible overlaps for a person to assess.
Can I configure the Drive query in the automation setup?
Choose the provided New File Matching Query trigger. This workflow's setup steps do not add a separate filter-building screen.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Google Drive to Contentful graphql. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Google Drive triggers
Contentful graphql actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Get CMA Token
Tool to retrieve a Contentful Management API (CMA) access token. Use when making CMA calls to ensure valid authorization.
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
GraphQL Content API Persisted Query
Tool to execute a persisted GraphQL query via its SHA256 hash. Use after registering a query hash to run cached queries by hash. On first call include full query text; thereafter invoke with only hash and variables.
Comment Added (Docs/Sheets/Slides)
Triggers when a new comment is added to Google Docs, Sheets, or Slides.
GraphQL Content API Query
Tool to execute a GraphQL query against a specified space and environment. Use when fetching Contentful content via GraphQL after obtaining or providing a valid token.
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.
