Update Dynamics 365 cases when related support files are shared

When a support file is shared with someone new, Notis can check the related case and record a concise update to keep the work moving.

Trigger

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.

Action

Update Case

Updates an existing case (incident) entity record in dynamics crm using the web api.

Why this helps

A newly shared support document can signal progress, but the related case may not reflect the change.

  • Record relevant file-sharing context on the associated support case.
  • Help case owners notice when a document is made available to others.
  • Keep the update tied to the existing case instead of creating duplicate work.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Google Drive and Dynamics 365 once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
  • 3In one instruction, tell Notis how to match the shared file to a case and what relevant sharing context to add.
  • 4Pick the Google Drive File Shared trigger and choose where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real shared support file and its related Dynamics 365 case.

Questions about this workflow

Can this identify the right case automatically?

Only when the file and case contain enough matching information. Tell Notis to report an uncertain match instead of updating an unrelated case.

Does the trigger include permission details?

The File Shared event represents new sharing permissions. Ask Notis to use the sharing context available in the event and file, without assuming details that are not provided.
