Pair new Drive files with repository documentation
Give new project briefs and specs a technical companion by retrieving relevant repository wiki contents as soon as a file is created.
Trigger
File Created
Triggers when a new file is created in Google Drive.
Action
Read wiki contents
View documentation about a GitHub repository. Args: repoName: GitHub repository in owner/repo format (e.g. "facebook/react")
Why this helps
A newly shared brief can be hard to act on when its technical background lives in a separate repository wiki.
- Bring repository documentation into the first review of a new file.
- Reduce the hunt between planning documents and code references.
- Surface technical context in the Notis run report.
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 to retrieve wiki contents for the repository relevant to each new Drive file and include the result in its report.
- 4Pick the Google Drive File Created trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real file and check that the chosen repository context is clear.
Questions about this workflow
Does Devin choose a repository from the file automatically?
The action needs a repository name in owner/repo format. State how Notis should identify it, or provide the repository context in your instruction.
What does the workflow return?
Devin's Read wiki contents action returns documentation for the specified GitHub repository, which Notis can include in the run report.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Google Drive to Devin MCP. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Google Drive triggers
Devin MCP actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
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
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
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.
