Research related Cults models when a Drive file is shared
A newly shared file may be the signal to start research. Use its available details to find related Cults models.
Trigger
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.
Action
Cults GraphQL POST
Tool to execute a GraphQL operation against the Cults API. Use when you need to fetch or mutate data via the Cults GraphQL endpoint.
Why this helps
A shared reference can signal a new collaboration, but the next research step may get lost in handoffs.
- Start research when Drive reports new sharing permissions.
- Use available file details to search Cults models.
- Send the findings to a report channel for the next step.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Drive and Cults once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation.
- 3Tell Notis to use the newly shared file's available details to search Cults models and summarize matches.
- 4Pick the Google Drive File Shared trigger and choose a report channel.
- 5Test with one real file sharing change.
Questions about this workflow
Does this report who received access?
The trigger identifies new sharing permissions. Ask Notis to summarize available permission details if they are included in the event data.
Will it search Cults for every shared file?
Yes, each event can start the instructed search. Search relevance depends on the file details available to Notis.
