Find useful comparisons when a document gets a comment

A new comment can point to a decision or disputed edit. Let Notis check the available Draftable comparisons and report the ones worth reviewing.

Trigger

Triggers when a new comment is added to Google Docs, Sheets, or Slides.

Action

List Comparisons

Why this helps

Comments can sit unanswered while you search for the document version or change history that explains the discussion.

  • See available comparisons alongside a new comment
  • Reduce manual searching during document review
  • Get a concise run report in your chosen channel

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Google Drive and Draftable once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
  • 3In one instruction, ask Notis to list available Draftable comparisons when a Drive comment is added and report relevant results with the comment context.
  • 4Pick the Google Drive Comment Added trigger and choose where run reports go.
  • 5Test with one real comment and review the report.

Questions about this workflow

Does this create a Draftable comparison?

No. The available Draftable action lists existing comparisons. It does not create a comparison.

Can Notis know which comparison matches the comment?

Notis can review the returned comparison information alongside the comment context. If the returned data does not identify a match, the report should say so.

TriggerPolling

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.
