- Convert fresh research into a draft for editorial review.
- Keep the document as the source of truth for key claims.
- Reduce manual copying between Drive and Curated.

Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Drive and Curated once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation by naming it and describing the newsletter draft outcome in one instruction.
- 3Pick the Google Drive File Created trigger.
- 4Choose where Notis should send run reports, then test with one real research file.

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
