Keep a budget discussion moving with a conversion of the amount someone just commented on.
Trigger
Comment Added (Docs/Sheets/Slides)
Triggers when a new comment is added to Google Docs, Sheets, or Slides.
Action
Convert Currency
Tool to perform a single currency conversion from one currency to another for a specified amount. Use when you need to convert a specific amount between two currencies using mid-market rates.
Why this helps
A useful number in a comment can be easy to miss while switching between a document and a currency calculator.
- Surface the converted amount in the run report.
- Reduce interruption during document review.
- Keep the source comment and file in context.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Drive and CurrencyScoop once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create a new automation in the portal or tell Notis to create it from any channel.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to identify a clearly stated amount and currency in a new comment, convert it to your chosen currency, and include the comment and file context.
- 4Pick the Google Drive Comment Added trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real comment that includes an amount and currency.

Will it guess the currency if the comment does not say?
It should not guess. Include the source currency in the comment or tell Notis how to handle missing currency.
Does it monitor comments on all Drive files?
The listed trigger covers comments added to Docs, Sheets, and Slides.

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.
