Track electricity emissions from new Drive bills
Add an energy bill to Drive and let Notis turn the usage details into a Corrently meter update.
Trigger
File Created
Triggers when a new file is created in Google Drive.
Action
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.
Why this helps
Energy bills arrive as documents, so consumption figures can sit unread while emissions tracking falls behind.
- Reduce manual entry of bill usage into emissions tracking.
- Keep newly received energy bills connected to your CO₂ records.
- Review a run report when a bill needs clarification.
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 give it a clear name.
- 3Tell Notis to find the billed electricity consumption and update the Corrently CO₂ meter, flagging missing or ambiguous readings.
- 4Pick the Google Drive File Created trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real energy bill and confirm the reading in Corrently.
Questions about this workflow
Does this work for every file created in Drive?
The trigger fires for a new Drive file. In your instruction, tell Notis how to recognize an energy bill and what to do when a file is unrelated.
What if the bill has no clear consumption figure?
Ask Notis to report missing or ambiguous usage instead of guessing. Review the run report and provide the correct value if needed.

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.
