Announce customer resources when they are shared
A newly shared guide, folder, or customer resource can prompt a timely Customer.io announcement, with Notis using the Drive item as context.
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
Trigger Broadcast
Tool to manually trigger a broadcast. use when you need to override the default audience and provide personalization data after confirming the broadcast id.
Why this helps
A resource is ready and shared, but the people who need it are not told about it.
- Connect the moment a resource is shared with its announcement.
- Reduce forgotten follow-up after sharing customer materials.
- Use the shared item as context for the broadcast.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Drive and Customer.io once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it for customer resource announcements.
- 3Tell Notis to trigger the existing broadcast when a customer-facing resource is newly shared, using the file details for context.
- 4Pick the Google Drive File Shared trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real shared resource and confirm the broadcast is appropriate for its audience.
