Send a Discord channel alert when a new comment appears on a Google Doc, Sheet, or Slide, with a concise summary and a link for review.

View example

Post a Discord update when a new file is created in Google Drive, including a concise description and a link when available.

View example

Review new Drive access grants in Discord

Post an alert when sharing permissions are added to a Drive file or folder, with the available access details and source link.

View example

Flag Drive files moved to trash or deleted

Send a Discord alert when a Drive file is trashed or permanently deleted, helping the team identify potential recovery follow-up.

View example

Summarize changed Drive files for the team

Post a concise Discord update when Drive file metadata or content changes, noting available change context and linking to the file.

View example

Start a Discord review thread for matching Drive files

When a new Drive file matches the trigger's query, create a Discord thread for focused review and follow-up.

View example

Acknowledge new Drive comments with a Discord reaction

When a new comment is added to a Google document, add a reaction to the relevant Discord message to mark that the comment needs attention.

View example

Turn Drive change activity into a review queue

Supported Triggers and Actions

Notis builds workflows that link Google Drive to Discordbot. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.

Google Drive triggers

Discordbot actions

Recurring trigger

Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.

TriggerScheduled

Add recipient to group channel

Adds a user to a discord group direct message (dm) channel.

ActionInstant

Webhook trigger

Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.

TriggerInstant

Update guild member information

Adds a user (who is not already a member) to a guild using their `access token` (which must have `guilds.join` scope), optionally setting nickname, roles, mute/deaf status, or flags.

ActionInstant

Comment Added (Docs/Sheets/Slides)

Triggers when a new comment is added to Google Docs, Sheets, or Slides.

TriggerPolling

Assign role to guild member

Assigns a role to a guild member, provided the bot has 'manage roles' permission in the guild and the role to be assigned is hierarchically lower than the bot's highest role.

ActionInstant

File Created

Triggers when a new file is created in Google Drive.

TriggerPolling

Add reaction to message

Adds an emoji reaction from the authenticated user/bot to a specific message in a discord channel; does not return information about existing reactions.

ActionInstant

File Deleted or Trashed

Triggers when a file is moved to trash or permanently deleted in Drive.

TriggerPolling

Add or update thread member

Adds a user to a specific, unarchived thread; the user must have access to the thread's parent channel, and for private threads, the bot must already be a member.

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.

TriggerPolling

Modify guild ban settings

Permanently bans a user from a discord guild, optionally deleting their recent messages (specify deletion period in seconds or days, not both).

ActionInstant

File Updated

Triggers when a file's metadata or content changes in Google Drive.

TriggerPolling

Bulk ban users in guild with message deletion option

Bans up to 200 users from a discord guild, optionally deleting their recent messages; the bot must have 'ban members' permission in the guild, and this action is irreversible.

ActionInstant

Google Drive Changes

Triggers when changes are detected in a Google Drive.

TriggerPolling

Bulk delete messages in channel

Atomically bulk deletes messages in a discord channel for moderation or maintenance; deletion may not be instantaneous and messages are unrecoverable.

Trigger Types

Four ways to start an automation.

A trigger is the event that kicks a workflow off. Notis supports four kinds: an event in a connected app, an inbound webhook, a recurring schedule, and soon, your own database.

Integration triggers

Fire when something happens inside a connected app. New Notion page, Stripe charge, Linear issue: any of 1,000+ apps can start a workflow.

New Notion pageStripe chargeCalendar event

Webhook triggers

A unique URL per workflow. Anything that can send an HTTP POST can start an automation, including no-code tools that speak webhooks.

Any HTTP POSTCustom backendIoT event

Recurring triggers

Cron-style schedules run a workflow on the clock. Daily standups, hourly syncs, business-hours-only digests: the workhorse of Notis.

Database triggers

Watch a row, query, or threshold in your own database and fire the moment the data changes. Row inserted, value crosses a limit, query starts matching.

Why AI automation

Classic automation breaks. AI adapts.

Same triggers and actions, smarter middle. AI handles the fuzziness that breaks traditional Zapier-style workflows the moment a field gets renamed.
