Create Datascope locations from new Drive site briefs
A new site brief can become a ready-to-use Datascope location without retyping its details.
Trigger
File Created
Triggers when a new file is created in Google Drive.
Action
Create Location
Tool to create a new location in DataScope with geographic coordinates. Use when you need to register a physical location with name and code identifiers.
Why this helps
Site details arrive in documents, then someone has to manually recreate them in the field data system.
- Reduce duplicate entry when preparing a new field site.
- Keep location setup close to the source brief.
- Use Notis to identify missing name, code, or coordinate details before creating a record.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Drive and Datascope once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or tell Notis from any channel what outcome you want.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to create a Datascope location from new site briefs and use the document's name, code, and coordinates; ask it to flag missing details.
- 4Pick the Google Drive File Created trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real site brief and check the resulting location.
Questions about this workflow
What should the brief include?
Include a location name, a unique code, and geographic coordinates. If a required detail is absent or unclear, instruct Notis to flag it for review rather than guess.
Does this run for every new Drive file?
The trigger fires for newly created files. Describe in your instruction which new files count as site briefs so Notis can assess their content.

Get All Answers V2
Tool to retrieve last answers from Datascope forms (limit 200 per request). Use when you need to fetch form submissions with optional filtering by form, user, date range, or location. Supports pagination via offset parameter for retrieving additional batches.
Comment Added (Docs/Sheets/Slides)
Triggers when a new comment is added to Google Docs, Sheets, or Slides.
Get All Answers With Metadata
Tool to retrieve all answers with metadata from the DataScope platform. Returns up to 600 form answers with form metadata, user information, timestamps, and GPS coordinates. Use when you need to fetch submission data with filtering options by form, user, date range, or location.
File Created
Triggers when a new file is created in Google Drive.
Get all list elements
Tool to retrieve all items from a specific metadata list in Datascope. Use when you need to fetch all elements belonging to a particular list type (products, locations, customers, etc.).
File Deleted or Trashed
Triggers when a file is moved to trash or permanently deleted in Drive.
Get All Locations
Tool to retrieve all locations configured in the DataScope system. Use when you need to access location data including addresses, coordinates, and company associations.
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 Last Tickets
Tool to retrieve the last 5 tickets (findings) from the DataScope system. Use when you need to view recent tickets or findings.
File Updated
Triggers when a file's metadata or content changes in Google Drive.
Get List Element
Tool to retrieve a specific element from a metadata list by type and ID. Use when you need to fetch detailed information about a specific list element such as locations, products, or other metadata objects.
Google Drive Changes
Triggers when changes are detected in a Google Drive.
Get Ticket Types
Tool to retrieve available ticket types (findings types) from the DataScope system. Use when you need to access the list of ticket type configurations.
