Review Elasticsearch fields after a Drive sharing change

A sharing change can prompt a check of the data structure relevant to the work around that file.

Trigger

File Shared (Permissions Added)

Triggers when new sharing access is granted to a file or folder.

Action

Get Index Schema

View the structure and field mappings of an index.

Why this helps

When access changes, you may need to review related data, but unfamiliar index fields add another context switch.

  • Review an index mapping in response to a sharing event.
  • Understand available fields before starting a separate search.
  • Keep the result with the run report for later reference.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Google Drive and Elasticsearch once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create a new automation in Automations, or tell Notis the outcome in plain language from any channel.
  • 3In one instruction, ask Notis to retrieve the schema for a named Elasticsearch index after a Drive file receives new sharing permissions and summarize useful fields.
  • 4Choose the Google Drive File Shared trigger and select where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real sharing event and review the output.

Questions about this workflow

Does the workflow audit the permission itself?

No. It retrieves an Elasticsearch index schema. It does not evaluate or change Drive permissions.

Can I see who received access?

That depends on the trigger event details available to Notis. The selected action only returns index schema information.
