Turn a research request into a focused brief
Send the question and relevant Drive material once, then get a brief shaped around the decision you need to make.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Create Chat Completion
Tool to create a chat completion using DeepSeek models (deepseek-chat or deepseek-reasoner). Use when you need to generate AI responses to chat conversations. Supports streaming, tool/function calling, and various parameters to control generation behavior (temperature, max_tokens, etc.).
Why this helps
Research questions often arrive without a clear path from scattered source material to a usable decision brief.
- Put a specific research question and source material into one request.
- Get a consistent brief structure for decisions.
- Keep unsupported answers and missing evidence visible.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Drive and DeepSeek once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to use the request and supplied Drive excerpts to answer a question, cite source names when provided, and list gaps.
- 4Pick a Notis webhook trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test by sending one real request with source material and review the brief.
Questions about this workflow
What should the webhook request include?
Include the research question and the relevant Drive content or excerpts needed to answer it.
Will the workflow search all of Google Drive?
This workflow uses the material supplied with the webhook request. Do not assume it searches Drive unless the request includes the needed content.

Comment Added (Docs/Sheets/Slides)
Triggers when a new comment is added to Google Docs, Sheets, or Slides.
Get User Balance
Tool to get user's current account balance including granted and topped-up balances with detailed breakdown by currency (CNY or USD). Use when you need to check if the user has sufficient balance for API calls or to view detailed balance information.
File Created
Triggers when a new file is created in Google Drive.
List Models
Tool to list currently available DeepSeek models and provides basic information about each one such as the owner and availability. Use when you need to discover which models are available for API calls.
File Deleted or Trashed
Triggers when a file is moved to trash or permanently deleted in Drive.
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.
File Updated
Triggers when a file's metadata or content changes in Google Drive.
Google Drive Changes
Triggers when changes are detected in a Google Drive.
