Look up a credential from a Drive comment
Put a credential ID in a document comment and have Notis retrieve its Dock certs details for you.
Trigger
Comment Added (Docs/Sheets/Slides)
Triggers when a new comment is added to Google Docs, Sheets, or Slides.
Action
Retrieve Credential
Tool to retrieve a verifiable credential by its unique ID. If a password was used to persist it, include the same password to decrypt and return the full credential. Otherwise, only metadata is returned.
Why this helps
Credential IDs buried in review comments can mean extra tabs, manual lookups, and details that are easy to overlook.
- Look up a credential without leaving the discussion context.
- Send retrieved details to a consistent report channel.
- Reduce manual copying between Drive comments and Dock certs.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Drive and Dock certs once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis from any channel.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to retrieve the Dock certs credential whose ID appears in a new comment and report its details.
- 4Pick the Comment Added trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test by adding a real credential ID in a Docs, Sheets, or Slides comment.
Questions about this workflow
What does the comment need to include?
It needs the unique Dock certs credential ID. Notis cannot look up a credential from a name alone unless you provide a usable ID.
Will the full credential be returned?
Dock certs returns the full credential only when the same password used to persist it is provided. Otherwise, the lookup returns metadata.
Does this work with comments on any Drive file?
The trigger covers new comments on Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Google Drive to Dock certs. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Google Drive triggers
Dock certs actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Create API Key
Tool to create an API key. Use when you need to generate a new API key with optional alias and IP allowlist.
Webhook trigger

Comment Added (Docs/Sheets/Slides)
Triggers when a new comment is added to Google Docs, Sheets, or Slides.
Delete API Key
Tool to delete a specific API key. Use after confirming the API key's ID via list_api_keys.
File Created

Delete Credential
Tool to delete a verifiable credential. Use after confirming the credential is no longer needed.
File Deleted or Trashed
Triggers when a file is moved to trash or permanently deleted in Drive.
Delete Tag
Tool to delete a specific tag. Use when you have a tag ID and want to permanently remove it.
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.
Delete Webhook
Tool to delete a specific webhook. Use after confirming the webhook's ID via list_webhooks.
File Updated
Triggers when a file's metadata or content changes in Google Drive.
Retrieve API Key
Tool to retrieve details of an API key. Tries single-key endpoint first, then falls back to listing and filtering.
Google Drive Changes
