Why this helps

Image research often requires checking each image separately to understand its dimensions and what it contains.

  • Retrieve available image dimensions and recognition data.
  • Review image links together from a Drive research file.
  • Reduce repetitive inspection of public images.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Google Drive and Diffbot once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation named Inspect Drive Image Links.
  • 3Tell Notis to find publicly accessible image URLs in each new file and use Diffbot Get Image to return available dimensions and recognition data.
  • 4Choose File Created as the trigger and select where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real file containing a publicly accessible image URL.

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.
