Turn matching Drive files into Dart follow-up
When a new file fits your Drive query, capture the next step where your team tracks work.
Trigger
New File Matching Query
Triggers when a new Google Drive file matches a provided query. This is the legacy query-centric trigger: it preserves Drive API query config such as ``corpora`` / ``driveId`` aliases and emits the historical ``file_matching_query`` event type. ``FileCreatedTrigger`` covers the broader "new file" case and emits ``file_created``.
Action
Create Task
Tool to create a new task in DART with title and optional metadata. Use when you need to add a task to a workspace.
Why this helps
Files that match a useful search can still sit untouched without an owner or follow-up task.
- Capture work from files that meet an existing query.
- Keep task creation tied to relevant new files.
- Reduce manual scanning of matching files.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Drive and Dart once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation and describe what follow-up task to create for a relevant matching file.
- 3Pick the New File Matching Query trigger and choose a report channel.
- 4Test with one real matching file and review the task.
Questions about this workflow
Does this use a Drive query?
Yes. This trigger is the query-centric option and preserves Drive query configuration such as corpora or driveId aliases.
Does a query match guarantee the file needs a task?
No. Your instruction can ask Notis to create a Dart task only when the matching file calls for actionable follow-up.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Google Drive to Dart. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Google Drive triggers
Dart actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Add Task Comment
Tool to create a new comment on a DART task. Use when you need to add feedback, notes, or discussion to a specific task. Supports markdown formatting and threaded replies via parentId.
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Add Task Time Tracking
Tool to add a time tracking entry to a DART task. Use when you need to record time spent on a specific task. The finishedAt timestamp must be after startedAt.
Comment Added (Docs/Sheets/Slides)
Triggers when a new comment is added to Google Docs, Sheets, or Slides.
Create Doc
Tool to create a new doc in Dart. Use when you need to record a new document that the user intends to write down. By default, the created doc will be in the Docs folder unless a specific folder is specified.
File Created
Triggers when a new file is created in Google Drive.
Create Task
Tool to create a new task in DART with title and optional metadata. Use when you need to add a task to a workspace.
File Deleted or Trashed
Triggers when a file is moved to trash or permanently deleted in Drive.
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.
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.
Delete Task
Tool to delete an existing task in Dart by moving it to trash. Use when a task needs to be removed but can be recovered later.
File Updated
Triggers when a file's metadata or content changes in Google Drive.
Get User Space Configuration
Tool to retrieve workspace configuration including dartboards, folders, types, statuses, and more. Use when you need to understand available options in the workspace.
Google Drive Changes
Triggers when changes are detected in a Google Drive.
Get Doc
Tool to retrieve an existing doc with metadata and content. Use when you need to access a specific document's details including title, folder, and text content.
