Get a solar forecast from a new site file
Put a site document in Drive and ask Notis to turn its location details into a Corrently solar forecast.
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
PV Generation Forecast
Tool to get solar energy production forecasts (hourly output and loss estimates) for a specific location. use when you need hourly pv generation data to optimize energy scheduling.
Why this helps
Location details and solar planning often live in separate places, adding a manual step before energy decisions.
- Bring site location details into a forecast request.
- See hourly production and loss estimates from Corrently.
- Keep the workflow focused on new files matching the query you choose.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Drive and Corrently once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it for site forecasts.
- 3Tell Notis to read the location from each matching new site document and request its Corrently PV generation forecast.
- 4Pick the Google Drive New File Matching Query trigger, provide the applicable query, and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real site document and review the forecast report.
Questions about this workflow
What kind of location does the forecast need?
The Corrently action is for a specific location. Include the location in the matching file or otherwise make it clear in your instruction.
Does the forecast change electricity prices or schedule equipment?
No. This action requests hourly PV output and loss estimates. Use the report to inform decisions separately.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Google Drive to Corrently. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Google Drive triggers
Corrently actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
CO₂ Meter Update
Tool to create or update a co₂ meter reading for emissions tracking. use when sending new or updated electricity consumption readings to corrently.
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
PV Generation Forecast
Tool to get solar energy production forecasts (hourly output and loss estimates) for a specific location. use when you need hourly pv generation data to optimize energy scheduling.
Comment Added (Docs/Sheets/Slides)
Triggers when a new comment is added to Google Docs, Sheets, or Slides.
File Created
Triggers when a new file is created in Google Drive.
File Deleted or Trashed
Triggers when a file is moved to trash or permanently deleted in Drive.
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.
File Updated
Triggers when a file's metadata or content changes in Google Drive.
Google Drive Changes
Triggers when changes are detected in a Google Drive.
