Add template context to a Drive sharing handoff

A Drive file was shared. Have Notis retrieve the Documint template you name and include its details in the run report for the handoff.

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 Template

Tool to retrieve a single template by its id. use when you need to fetch details of a specific template before generating documents.

Why this helps

A permission change can be easy to notice but hard to connect with the template details someone needs next.

  • Bring relevant template details into a sharing related review.
  • Reduce manual context switching between Drive and Documint.
  • Use the run report as a lightweight handoff record.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Google Drive and Documint once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation and tell Notis which template id to retrieve and what details to include in the report.
  • 3Choose the Google Drive File Shared trigger.
  • 4Choose where run reports should go, then test with one real sharing change.

Questions about this workflow

Does this send the template to the newly shared Drive audience?

No. The available Documint action retrieves a template. It does not deliver documents or change Drive sharing permissions.

How should I identify the template?

Provide its Documint template id in your instruction, or specify an identification rule supported by information available to Notis.
