Apply documented domain rules to Control D

Keep written domain decisions from getting stranded in Drive.

Trigger

File Updated

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

Action

Create Custom Rules for Profile

Tool to create custom rules for a profile. Use after confirming the profile ID and preparing rule definitions. Provide a list of rule objects matching the API schema.

Why this helps

Policy updates can be clear in a document while the matching Control D rules remain unchanged.

  • Reduce rekeying of approved domain rules
  • Use the updated policy as the change source
  • Keep a run report for review

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Google Drive and Control D once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
  • 3Tell Notis to read the updated policy and create only explicitly specified custom rules in the named Control D profile.
  • 4Pick the File Updated trigger and choose where run reports go.
  • 5Test with one real policy update and review the rules created.

Questions about this workflow

What if the policy does not name a profile?

The instruction should require a profile identifier in the document or supplied context and report when it is missing.

Will it delete or change existing rules?

This workflow creates rules. It does not delete or modify existing rules.

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.
