Catch removal of important team documents
When an important working document disappears from Drive, give the team a prompt to check the impact and decide what to do next.
Trigger
File Deleted or Trashed
Triggers when a file is moved to trash or permanently deleted in Drive.
Action
Send Message
This tool allows sending a message through dailybot to either specific users or channels/rooms. the message can include markdown formatting.
Why this helps
A key file moved to trash can block work before the people who rely on it realize it is missing.
- Make potentially disruptive file removals visible.
- Give the team a chance to confirm whether recovery is needed.
- Avoid claiming a file can be restored unless its status confirms that.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Drive and Dailybot once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis what you want from any channel.
- 3Ask Notis to alert Dailybot when a removed item appears important to team work, including available file details and a request to verify impact.
- 4Pick the Google Drive File Deleted or Trashed trigger and choose where Notis run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real removal event and confirm the alert gives a useful next step.
Questions about this workflow
Will this restore the file?
No. It sends a Dailybot alert so someone can check the file and decide whether restoration or another action is needed.
Can it tell whether the file was trashed or permanently deleted?
Use the status details available from the event. If the event does not provide enough information, the message should say the removal type is unclear.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Google Drive to Dailybot. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Google Drive triggers
Dailybot actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Find User by UUID
This tool allows you to find and retrieve information about a specific user in dailybot. it uses the provided user uuid to lookup the user and returns detailed information including the user's uuid, full name, image, username, occupation, birth date, chat platform data, and organization details.
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Find Workflow by Name
This tool allows users to find a specific workflow within dailybot by providing the workflow name. it returns detailed information including the workflow id, workflow name, workflow status, workflow type, created at, and updated at. it is especially useful to locate a workflow before running or modifying it.
Comment Added (Docs/Sheets/Slides)
Triggers when a new comment is added to Google Docs, Sheets, or Slides.
Get All Users
This tool retrieves a list of all users within the organization from dailybot. it doesn't require any input parameters other than authentication. the returned json contains user details including uuid, active status, full name, and organizational data.
File Created
Triggers when a new file is created in Google Drive.
Get Workflows List
This tool retrieves a list of all workflows that the authenticated user has access to in dailybot. it can be executed independently with only the authentication required, and it supports optional pagination parameters (page, per page) to refine the response.
File Deleted or Trashed
Triggers when a file is moved to trash or permanently deleted in Drive.
Give Kudos to Users
This tool allows giving kudos to one or multiple users in dailybot. kudos can be given either on behalf of dailybot or the api key owner.
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.
Send Message
This tool allows sending a message through dailybot to either specific users or channels/rooms. the message can include markdown formatting.
File Updated
Triggers when a file's metadata or content changes in Google Drive.
Google Drive Changes
