Why this helps
Finding candidate charities means switching between research notes and a separate nonprofit search.
- Start a nonprofit search from the cause brief already in Drive.
- Review matching organizations in a run report.
- Reduce the time spent copying research terms into Daffy.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Drive and Daffy once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation and ask Notis to search Daffy using the cause and query terms stated in each new brief.
- 3Pick the Google Drive File Created trigger.
- 4Choose where Notis should send run reports.
- 5Test with one real brief containing a clear cause and search phrase.
Questions about this workflow
Does the search guarantee a suitable charity?
No. Daffy returns search matches based on the available query and cause information. Review the results before making a giving decision.
Can the search use an exact cause id?
Only if the needed cause id is available in the brief or supplied in your instruction. Do not assume one that is not provided.

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.
Get Gifts
Tool to retrieve a list of gifts. use when you need to page or filter gifts.
