Ways Notis can move work from Google Drive to Dub

View example

Create a Dub short link for each new Drive file

When a new file appears in Google Drive, create a Dub short link that points to it so you can share it without stopping to build a link by hand.

View example

Create a tracked link when a Drive file is shared

When a Drive file receives new sharing permissions, create a Dub short link to it so the link is easy to pass along and measure.

View example

Keep a Dub link current when a Drive file changes

When a Drive file is updated, have Notis refresh or create its Dub link so the destination stays aligned with the file you are sharing.

View example

Remove a Dub link when its Drive file is trashed

When a Drive file is trashed or deleted, remove its associated Dub link in bulk so obsolete destinations do not linger in your workspace.

View example

Create a Dub link when a Drive document gets a comment

When someone comments on a Google document, create a Dub short link to that document so reviewers can quickly find the discussion.

View example

Shorten new Drive files that match your query

When a new Drive file matches the query you use for a workstream, create a Dub short link for it to make the right files easier to distribute.

View example

Review Dub links for your Drive files on a schedule

On a recurring schedule, retrieve your Dub links so Notis can review them against the Drive files and matching rules you provide, then report links that need attention.

Supported Triggers and Actions

Notis builds workflows that link Google Drive to Dub. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.

Google Drive triggers

Dub actions

Recurring trigger

Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.

TriggerScheduled

Bulk Delete Links

Tool to delete multiple short links in bulk from Dub. Use when you need to remove multiple links at once. Maximum of 100 link IDs per request. Non-existing IDs are silently ignored.

ActionInstant

Webhook trigger

ActionInstant

TriggerPolling

Create Tag

ActionInstant

File Deleted or Trashed

TriggerPolling

Delete Domain

Tool to delete a domain from your Dub workspace. Use when you need to permanently remove a domain. The domain must exist and be owned by your workspace.

ActionInstant

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.

TriggerPolling

ActionInstant

File Updated

Triggers when a file's metadata or content changes in Google Drive.

Trigger Types

Four ways to start an automation.

A trigger is the event that kicks a workflow off. Notis supports four kinds: an event in a connected app, an inbound webhook, a recurring schedule, and soon, your own database.

Integration triggers

Fire when something happens inside a connected app. New Notion page, Stripe charge, Linear issue: any of 1,000+ apps can start a workflow.

New Notion pageStripe chargeCalendar event

Webhook triggers

A unique URL per workflow. Anything that can send an HTTP POST can start an automation, including no-code tools that speak webhooks.

Recurring triggers

Cron-style schedules run a workflow on the clock. Daily standups, hourly syncs, business-hours-only digests: the workhorse of Notis.

Database triggers

Watch a row, query, or threshold in your own database and fire the moment the data changes. Row inserted, value crosses a limit, query starts matching.

Why AI automation

Classic automation breaks. AI adapts.

Same triggers and actions, smarter middle. AI handles the fuzziness that breaks traditional Zapier-style workflows the moment a field gets renamed.
