Questions about this workflow
Does this add the file to a Crowdin project?
This workflow uploads the file to Crowdin storage. Adding it to a project is a separate Crowdin action.
What should I do if the upload needs a particular project?
Include the project context in your instruction and review the run report to confirm the uploaded file is ready for the next step.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Google Drive to Crowdin. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Google Drive triggers
Crowdin actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Add Branch
Tool to create a new branch in a crowdin project. use when you need to isolate translations for a new feature or release.
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Add File

Comment Added (Docs/Sheets/Slides)

File Deleted or Trashed

Add Webhook
Tool to create a new webhook in a crowdin project. use after confirming the project id and desired event triggers.
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.
Assign Label to Strings
Tool to assign the specified label to provided string ids in a project. use after creating the label or verifying string ids to categorize content.
File Updated
Triggers when a file's metadata or content changes in Google Drive.
Delete Branch
