Review Convolo character details when a Drive source disappears
When a source brief is removed, Notis can flag its identified Convolo character for review and apply a clearly specified detail change.
Trigger
File Deleted or Trashed
Triggers when a file is moved to trash or permanently deleted in Drive.
Action
Update Character
Tool to update existing character details. Use when you have a character ID and need to modify its attributes.
Why this helps
Removing a source document can leave character details relying on outdated context, with no obvious follow-up task.
- Catch potential profile maintenance after source removal
- Avoid silently relying on a removed brief
- Make a targeted update when the needed change is clear
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, define how to identify the affected character and the exact detail change to make when removal warrants it; otherwise ask Notis to report for review.
- 4Pick the Google Drive File Deleted or Trashed trigger, choose a report channel, and test with one real removed file and a confirmed character ID.
Questions about this workflow
Will this delete or disable a Convolo character?
No. The selected action updates character details. It does not delete or disable the character.
Can Notis know whether a removed file was the only source for a detail?
Only if that dependency is provided or available in the context. Ask Notis to flag cases where it cannot establish the source relationship.

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
