Pair Shared Contract Access With Signing Follow-Up
A contract is shared with someone new. Notis checks its Docnify status so access changes do not disappear from your signing follow-up.
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
Get Document
Tool to fetch a specific document by its ID. Use when you need to view a document's current state and metadata.
Why this helps
Sharing a contract can trigger work across teams, but the signing status is often left in another app and forgotten.
- Use a sharing event to prompt a relevant status review.
- Keep signing progress visible after access changes.
- Receive a report without manually opening both apps.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Drive and Docnify once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation and explain how to identify the related Docnify document.
- 3Pick the Google Drive File Shared trigger.
- 4Choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real permission change and verify the document match.
Questions about this workflow
Does this add the new Drive collaborator as a Docnify signer?
No. It fetches the related Docnify document for review. Adding a signer requires a confirmed document and recipient decision.
Can sharing details identify the right Docnify document?
Only when the event and available document information provide a reliable match. Otherwise, the report should call out that it needs confirmation.
