Check Digicert access when a Drive item is shared

A new share can signal that someone needs access to a certificate workflow. Ask Notis to check the relevant Digicert permission and report whether it is available.

Trigger

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.

Action

Check Permission

Tool to check if a specific permission is available. use when validating that the authenticated user may perform an operation before attempting it.

Why this helps

A Drive share can prompt follow-up in another system, and checking access manually adds another context switch.

  • Check access as soon as a Drive share event arrives.
  • See the permission check result in your chosen report channel.
  • Reduce manual switching between Drive and Digicert.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Google Drive and Digicert once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, then choose New Automation.
  • 3Tell Notis to check a specified Digicert permission when a Drive sharing event arrives and report the result.
  • 4Pick the Google Drive File Shared trigger and choose where run reports go.
  • 5Test with one real example.

Questions about this workflow

Does this grant Digicert access?

No. The selected Digicert action checks whether a specific permission is available; it does not grant access.

Can Notis infer which permission to check from a Drive share?

Only if the intended permission is clear from your instruction or context. Name the permission to check in the automation prompt.
