Clean up Conveyor evidence after Drive deletion
When a source compliance file is removed, make sure its shared Conveyor copy does not stay in circulation by accident.
Trigger
File Deleted or Trashed
Triggers when a file is moved to trash or permanently deleted in Drive.
Action
Delete a Conveyor document
Tool to delete a specific document. Use when you need to remove a document by its ID.
Why this helps
Deleting an outdated Drive file does not automatically resolve whether a corresponding Conveyor document should remain available.
- Create a timely cleanup review when source material is removed.
- Reduce the chance that obsolete evidence remains available for sharing.
- Use a confirmed document match before taking a deletion action.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Drive and Conveyor once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name the evidence cleanup workflow.
- 3Tell Notis: when a Drive file is deleted or trashed, find the corresponding Conveyor document and delete it only if the match is clear and the removal is intended; otherwise report it for review.
- 4Choose the Google Drive File Deleted or Trashed trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real deletion scenario and verify the matching Conveyor document before enabling routine use.
Questions about this workflow
Will every deletion in Drive delete a Conveyor document?
The instruction requires a clear match and intended removal. Ambiguous cases should be reported for a person to review.
Can deleted Drive files always be identified afterward?
The event may provide enough context to locate a match, but if the file details are unavailable or ambiguous, the workflow should report that limitation.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Google Drive to Conveyor. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Google Drive triggers
Conveyor actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Delete a Conveyor document
Tool to delete a specific document. Use when you need to remove a document by its ID.
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Delete folder
Tool to delete a folder by its ID. Use when you need to remove a specific folder after confirming its ID.
Comment Added (Docs/Sheets/Slides)
Triggers when a new comment is added to Google Docs, Sheets, or Slides.
Generate/Validate API Token Guidance
Tool to validate API token and provide guidance. Conveyor does not support API-based token creation; tokens must be created in the Conveyor UI. This action performs a real API call (using the provided metadata) to validate the existing API token and returns structured guidance.
File Created
Triggers when a new file is created in Google Drive.
Get Authorization Request
Tool to fetch details of a specific authorization request. Use when you need to retrieve metadata by authorization_request_id.
File Deleted or Trashed
Triggers when a file is moved to trash or permanently deleted in Drive.
Get Authorization Requests
Tool to fetch authorization requests. Use when you need to list authorization requests, optionally filtered by status.
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.
Get all authorization requests
Tool to retrieve all authorization requests. Use when you need to list all authorizations; optionally filter by status. Use after authenticating with a valid API token.
File Updated
Triggers when a file's metadata or content changes in Google Drive.
Get all Conveyor connections
Tool to retrieve all connections. Use when you need to fetch the complete list of your Conveyor connections. Use after authenticating with a valid API key.
Google Drive Changes
Triggers when changes are detected in a Google Drive.
Get all Conveyor documents
Tool to retrieve all documents. Use after authenticating with a valid API key.
