Mail notices that match a Drive query
Let a Drive query surface new notice documents, then tell Notis how to handle the ones meant for postal delivery.
Trigger
New File Matching Query
Triggers when a new Google Drive file matches a provided query. This is the legacy query-centric trigger: it preserves Drive API query config such as ``corpora`` / ``driveId`` aliases and emits the historical ``file_matching_query`` event type. ``FileCreatedTrigger`` covers the broader "new file" case and emits ``file_created``.
Action
Send Letter
Tool to send a letter via u.s. mail with specified recipient, sender, and pdf. use after confirming recipient and document details. example: send letter(to name='john doe', to address='123 main st, ...', file url='https://...')
Why this helps
Important notices can be hard to spot when they are mixed in with other newly added Drive files.
- Start from new files that match the Drive query you provide.
- Reduce manual review of unrelated Drive files.
- Send eligible notices as physical letters after details are confirmed.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Drive and Docupost once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it for the notice mailing.
- 3In one instruction, explain which query-matched files are postal notices, how to identify the recipient and sender, and to confirm the PDF and addresses before sending.
- 4Pick New File Matching Query as the trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real query-matched notice and verify its details before sending.
Questions about this workflow
Does this trigger apply a filter I build in the automation?
No. Pick the New File Matching Query trigger and use its Drive query configuration. Describe the intended outcome in your instruction.
Can it send any matching file automatically?
Your instruction should explain which files are notices and require confirmation of the recipient, sender, and PDF before sending.

Comment Added (Docs/Sheets/Slides)
Triggers when a new comment is added to Google Docs, Sheets, or Slides.
File Created
Triggers when a new file is created in Google Drive.
File Deleted or Trashed
Triggers when a file is moved to trash or permanently deleted in Drive.
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.
Google Drive Changes
Triggers when changes are detected in a Google Drive.
