Keep comparison context close to file updates
A file update may need a second look. Notis can retrieve the available Draftable comparisons and summarize what the returned list can support.
Trigger
File Updated
Triggers when a file's metadata or content changes in Google Drive.
Action
List Comparisons
Tool to retrieve a paginated list of document comparisons. use when you need to browse comparisons across pages.
Why this helps
Small document updates are easy to miss, especially when review happens across Drive and separate comparison tools.
- Prompt a review when Drive content or metadata changes
- See available comparison context in the run report
- Make missing comparison context visible
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 Draftable comparisons after a Drive file update and summarize relevant returned context or state when none is identifiable.
- 4Pick the Google Drive File Updated trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real file update and review the report.
Questions about this workflow
Does this identify every changed passage?
No. The available action retrieves a list of comparisons. It does not produce a detailed diff report.
Can the workflow use a baseline version?
Only if the needed baseline information is available in the returned data or supplied in the instruction. Otherwise the report should identify that gap.

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.
