Investigate files that match your Drive query
For a recurring class of incoming files, ask Devin the repository question that helps you decide what to do next and send the answer to your report channel.
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
Ask question
Ask any question about a GitHub repository and get an AI-powered, context-grounded response. Args: repoName: GitHub repository or list of repositories (max 10) in owner/repo format question: The question to ask about the repository
Why this helps
Files that match a saved Drive query may still need the same technical investigation before you can act on them.
- Pair a Drive query event with a repeatable repository investigation.
- Get useful codebase context for qualifying files.
- Reduce repetitive research before your next decision.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Drive and Devin MCP once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
- 3Tell Notis what repository question to ask Devin when a matching file appears, including the repository context.
- 4Pick the Google Drive New File Matching Query trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real matching file and check the report.
Questions about this workflow
Can I configure the Drive query filters in Notis?
This trigger preserves Drive query configuration, but the Notis setup flow described here has users pick a trigger rather than build filters.
Can the repository question vary based on file contents?
Notis can analyze returned data, but this event description does not specify file contents. State the question and repository context you need in your instruction.

List available repos
List all repositories available to query with your Devin account. Only available in private mode (via devin.ai endpoints).
Comment Added (Docs/Sheets/Slides)
Triggers when a new comment is added to Google Docs, Sheets, or Slides.
Read wiki contents
View documentation about a GitHub repository. Args: repoName: GitHub repository in owner/repo format (e.g. "facebook/react")
File Created
Triggers when a new file is created in Google Drive.
Read wiki structure
Get a list of documentation topics for a GitHub repository. Args: repoName: GitHub repository in owner/repo format (e.g. "facebook/react")
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.
