Sync approved filter changes from Drive

Carry a documented filter decision into the right Control D profile.

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

Bulk Update Profile Filters

Tool to bulk update filters on a specific profile. Use when you need to enable or disable multiple filters at once. Provide a list of filter IDs with desired states.

Why this helps

Approved filter changes can be delayed when someone must find the profile and toggle each setting manually.

  • Apply multiple documented filter decisions together
  • Reduce repetitive toggling
  • Keep approval and execution connected

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 bulk update only the filter IDs and enabled states explicitly listed for the named profile, and report missing identifiers.
  • 4Pick the New File Matching Query trigger and choose where run reports go.
  • 5Test with one real matching approval document and review the profile filters.

Questions about this workflow

Does this workflow decide which filters should be enabled?

No. It applies filter IDs and states explicitly documented in the approval or otherwise supplied in context.

What information is needed to target the right profile?

The profile ID and the filter IDs with their desired enabled states must be clear.

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.
