Carry clear Drive comment corrections into Convolo backstories
A useful correction in a Drive comment should not get lost. Notis can review it and update the matching character backstory when the intended change is clear.
Trigger
Comment Added (Docs/Sheets/Slides)
Triggers when a new comment is added to Google Docs, Sheets, or Slides.
Action
Update Character Backstory
Tool to update a character's backstory. Use when you need to modify the backstory of an existing character after confirming its ID. Only the provided fields will be updated.
Why this helps
Corrections arrive as comments, then get separated from the character profile they are meant to improve.
- Reduce manual monitoring of document comments
- Bring clear corrections into the relevant character backstory
- Keep ambiguous suggestions visible for human review
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Drive and Convolo AI once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to assess new comments for explicit backstory corrections and apply only clear changes to the identified character.
- 4Pick the Google Drive Comment Added trigger, choose a report channel, and test with one real comment and a confirmed character ID.
Questions about this workflow
Will every comment change the backstory?
No. The instruction should limit updates to explicit, relevant corrections and send unclear comments for review.
Which Drive files can start this workflow?
The listed Comment Added event covers Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides.

Generate Starter Conversation

Get Character Response
Tool to generate a response from a ConvAI character based on text or audio input. Use when needing a text or voice reply in an ongoing session.
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.
List Voices
Tool to retrieve the list of available voice types. Use when selecting voices before generating speech.
File Updated
Triggers when a file's metadata or content changes in Google Drive.
