Check carbon offsets when you share a Drive file
A new sharing permission can prompt a lightweight check of the carbon offsets your business has funded.
Trigger
File Shared (Permissions Added)
Triggers when new sharing access is granted to a file or folder.
Action
Get User Carbon Offset
View a user's total avoided carbon emissions.
Why this helps
Impact checks often get postponed because sharing work and sustainability tracking live in separate places.
- Make a carbon offset check part of a familiar sharing moment.
- See the avoided emissions total without opening another app.
- Keep impact reviews connected to everyday work.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Drive and Ecologi once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
- 3Tell Notis: When new sharing permissions are granted to a Drive file or folder, retrieve my Ecologi carbon offset total and summarize it.
- 4Pick the Google Drive File Shared trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real sharing permission change.
