Review a potentially obsolete template after Drive changes
Drive changes can make an old template worth reviewing. Ask Notis to check your stated criteria and identify the exact template before deletion.
Trigger
Google Drive Changes
Triggers when changes are detected in a Google Drive.
Action
Delete Template
Tool to permanently delete a single template by its id. use when you need to remove an outdated or unused template; ensure the template id is correct before calling.
Why this helps
Outdated templates can remain in circulation when no one owns the cleanup decision.
- Create a deliberate cleanup checkpoint tied to source changes.
- Make the deletion criteria explicit in one instruction.
- Reduce clutter from templates confirmed obsolete.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Drive and Documint once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation and specify the template id, the evidence to check, and the condition required before deleting it.
- 3Choose the Google Drive Changes trigger.
- 4Choose where run reports should go, then test with one real Drive change and a safe example.
Questions about this workflow
Will it delete a template whenever Drive changes?
Your instruction should require a specific obsolescence condition and exact template id. A Drive change alone does not establish that a template should be deleted.
Can a deleted template be restored?
The provided action permanently deletes a template. Confirm the target carefully and only use criteria that establish it is no longer needed.

Update Template
Tool to update a single template by its id. use when you need to modify an existing template's settings or layout after fetching its current details.
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.
File Updated
Triggers when a file's metadata or content changes in Google Drive.
