Create DeployHQ projects from Drive requests

Keep project setup moving from the request document. When a new Drive file describes a deployment project, Notis can create the DeployHQ project and report what it did.

Trigger

File Created

Triggers when a new file is created in Google Drive.

Action

Create Project

Tool to create a new project in DeployHQ. Use when you need to initialize a new project with a name and optional zone configuration.

Why this helps

Project setup requests get buried in Drive while someone still has to create the DeployHQ project by hand.

  • Start project setup from the request document
  • Reduce context switching between Drive and DeployHQ
  • Get a run report with the outcome

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Google Drive and DeployHQ once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create a new automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name and prompt.
  • 3In one instruction, ask Notis to review new project request files and create a DeployHQ project when the request contains enough information.
  • 4Choose the Google Drive File Created trigger and select where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real project request file.

Questions about this workflow

Will every new Drive file create a project?

The instruction should tell Notis to create a project only when the file clearly describes a project request and includes enough information. Test that condition with a real example.

Can Notis fill in details that are missing from the request?

Notis can only use the information in the file and available DeployHQ project creation inputs. Supply any required details in the request.

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.
