Create a Control D schedule from a Drive request

Move an approved schedule request into Control D without losing the decision in a document.

Trigger

Webhook received

Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.

Action

Create Profile Schedule

Tool to create a new schedule within a specific profile. Use after gathering profile_id and schedule details.

Why this helps

Schedule requests can stall between approval in Drive and the admin work needed to set them up.

  • Turn an approved request into a scheduled policy
  • Keep the request and setup report together
  • Catch missing schedule details before creation

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 create a schedule only from approved request details, and report if the profile or schedule details are missing.
  • 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports go.
  • 5Test by sending one real approved request and review the created schedule.

Questions about this workflow

What starts this automation?

An HTTP request to its Notis webhook starts it. The request can refer to the approved Drive item or include its relevant details.

Will it infer schedule times from an incomplete request?

The instruction should require explicit schedule details and report missing information instead of guessing.

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.
