Action
Create Submission From PDF
Tool to create a one-off submission from a pdf file. use when you need to upload a pdf and initiate a signature workflow with optional custom field values and webhook notifications.
Why this helps
New agreements can sit in Drive while someone remembers to upload them and start signature collection.
- Reduce the steps between saving a PDF and requesting signatures.
- Keep the signing handoff tied to the file creation event.
- Get a run report in the channel you choose.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Drive and Docuseal once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a clear name.
- 3Tell Notis to create a Docuseal submission from each new Drive PDF and specify who should sign; supply any required signer details in your instruction.
- 4Pick the Google Drive File Created trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real PDF and confirm the Docuseal submission is created as intended.
Questions about this workflow
Does this work for every new Drive file?
The instruction should limit the workflow to PDFs suitable for signature. Test with a real example to confirm the file is available to Docuseal.
How do I specify who signs?
Include the intended signer details in the instruction. Any required details that are not available from the Drive event must be supplied by you.

Get Template
Tool to retrieve details of a specific template by its unique identifier. use when you need to fetch template metadata by id.
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.
