Triggers when changes are detected in a Google Drive.
Action
Convert HTML to PDF
Tool to convert HTML to a PDF document. Use when you need to generate a PDF from raw HTML. Returns raw PDF bytes suitable for download or storage.
Why this helps
A stream of file changes can be difficult to review when attention is pulled between projects.
- Bring change details into a single review artifact.
- Make broad file activity easier to scan.
- Spend less time opening files one by one.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Drive and CustomJS once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation.
- 3Tell Notis to organize the detected change details into a concise PDF review.
- 4Pick the Google Drive Changes trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real Drive change and review the PDF.
Questions about this workflow
Does the event include every file's full content?
No. Ask Notis to use the detected change details it can access and call out anything needed for a fuller review.
Can it run on a schedule instead?
This workflow uses the Google Drive Changes event trigger.

Merge multiple PDFs into one
Tool to merge multiple PDF files into a single PDF. Use when you have multiple PDF URLs and want one combined PDF.
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.
Run Puppeteer Script
Tool to run a Puppeteer script and capture a screenshot. Use when automating headless browser tasks and needing a PNG output. Use after confirming the script logic.
