Turn New Drive Documents Into Clear Signing Follow-Up
A new document lands in Drive. Notis checks the Docnify document list and brings likely signing work into view.
Trigger
File Created
Triggers when a new file is created in Google Drive.
Action
List Documents
Tool to list documents in the Docnify account.
Why this helps
Founders lose time switching between Drive and Docnify to work out which new documents still need a signing workflow.
- Spot signing work while the document is still fresh.
- Reduce manual checks across two apps.
- Get a report when a document may need action.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Drive and Docnify once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation by naming it and describing the outcome in plain language.
- 3Pick the Google Drive File Created trigger.
- 4Choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real new file and review the report.
Questions about this workflow
Does this automatically send every new file for signature?
No. This workflow checks the Docnify document list and reports likely signing work. It does not upload Drive content or send documents.
Can it tell whether a Drive file is already in Docnify?
Not without a shared identifier or matching details available to Notis. The automation should report uncertainty for you to confirm.

Delete document recipient
Tool to remove a recipient from a document. Use after verifying document and recipient IDs to revoke access.
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.
