Review social posts when the planning calendar changes
Keep planning and publishing views in sync. When a calendar file changes, Notis gathers the Dotsimple post list for a focused review.
Trigger
File Updated
Triggers when a file's metadata or content changes in Google Drive.
Action
List Posts
Tool to list all posts in the workspace with optional pagination. use when you need to fetch paginated posts after obtaining a valid auth token.
Why this helps
A changed content calendar can leave teams unsure whether scheduled social posts still match the latest plan.
- Bring the current post list into a calendar review.
- Spot items that may need human follow-up.
- Avoid switching between the planning document and publishing workspace.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Drive and Dotsimple once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3Tell Notis: When a planning calendar file changes, retrieve the Dotsimple post list and summarize items that may need review against the updated calendar context.
- 4Pick the Google Drive File Updated trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real calendar update and review the summary.
Questions about this workflow
Can Notis know which posts correspond to calendar entries?
Only when the returned post data and available calendar context make the relationship clear. Otherwise, the report should identify that matching details are missing.
Will the automation edit or reschedule posts?
No. The available Dotsimple action lists posts for review.

Get Media File

Get Tag by UUID
Tool to retrieve details for a specific tag by uuid. use when you need full tag information after obtaining its identifier.
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.
List Accounts
Tool to list all connected social media accounts in the workspace. use when you need to retrieve available accounts before posting or scheduling content.
File Updated
Triggers when a file's metadata or content changes in Google Drive.
