Triggers when a new comment is added to Google Docs, Sheets, or Slides.
Action

Why this helps
A clear approval in a document comment can be easy to miss when gift entry happens somewhere else.
- Catch donation approvals recorded in document comments.
- Require complete gift details from the related file.
- Keep a record of the automation outcome in Notis reports.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Drive and Daffy once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation that creates a gift only when a new comment explicitly approves it and the file has recipient details and amount.
- 3Pick the Google Drive Comment Added trigger.
- 4Choose where Notis should send run reports.
- 5Test with one real comment and its complete donation request.
Questions about this workflow
Will any new comment create a gift?
The instruction should require an explicit approval and complete gift details. Other comments should not result in gift creation.
Where does the amount come from?
It must be stated in the linked Drive file or comment. Notis should not infer an amount that is not provided.

Get Gift by Code

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.
