Notis

Keep Dart tasks aligned with changing Drive files

When a source document changes, keep the related task useful and current.

Trigger

File Updated

Triggers when a file's metadata or content changes in Google Drive.

Action

Update Task

Tool to update an existing task in DART with new properties. Use when you need to modify a task's title, status, assignees, or other attributes. Only properties specified in the request will be updated.

Why this helps

People can keep working from task details that no longer match the latest Drive file.

  • Bring meaningful source changes into task context.
  • Reduce manual review and copy-paste work.
  • Help teammates act on current task information.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Google Drive and Dart once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation and describe which Drive changes should update which Dart task details.
  • 3Pick the File Updated trigger and choose a report channel.
  • 4Test with one real update and check the resulting task.

Questions about this workflow

Will every file edit change a Dart task?

Your instruction should tell Notis which changes matter and how they should affect a related task.

What if Notis cannot find the related task?

Ask Notis to report the missing match so you can identify the task or improve the instruction.

Delete Doc

Tool to move an existing doc to the trash where it can be recovered if needed. Use when you need to delete a doc without permanently removing it.

ActionInstant

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.
