Turn Google Drive changes into an editorial digest
A concise draft can help you catch meaningful changes across Drive without checking every file yourself.
Trigger
Google Drive Changes
Triggers when changes are detected in a Google Drive.
Action
Create Draft Issue
Tool to create a draft issue for a publication. use after confirming the publication id. applies default settings if optional fields are omitted.
Why this helps
Drive changes accumulate across files, making it hard to spot which updates deserve editorial attention.
- Review relevant Drive changes in one draft.
- Use an instruction to focus the digest on your editorial priorities.
- Reduce manual checking across changing files.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Drive and Curated once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation that summarizes relevant Drive changes into a draft issue.
- 3Pick the Google Drive Changes trigger.
- 4Choose a report channel, then test with one real change event.
Questions about this workflow
Can the digest compare changes to a baseline?
Only when the trigger or run supplies the prior state. Name any required baseline in your instruction or ask Notis to summarize the available current information.
Can I limit the digest to certain topics?
Describe the topics in the automation instruction. The trigger is selected as an event; users do not build filters in the setup flow.

File Deleted or Trashed

List Categories
Tool to list all categories for a publication. use after you have the publication id and need to fetch its categories.
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 Issues
Tool to list all issues for a publication. use after you have the publication id and need to fetch its issues (supports pagination).
File Updated
Triggers when a file's metadata or content changes in Google Drive.
