Auto-search Hubspot campaigns to avoid duplication from Drive

When your team creates a new campaign brief in Drive, Notis searches Hubspot to show similar campaigns, preventing duplicate efforts.

Trigger

File Created

Triggers when a new file is created in Google Drive.

Action

Campaign search

Searches for and retrieves a paginated list of hubspot marketing campaigns.

Why this helps

Your team creates campaign briefs in Drive without checking if similar campaigns already exist in Hubspot, leading to wasted effort and message confusion.

  • Prevent wasted effort on duplicate campaigns
  • Keep messaging consistent across existing campaigns
  • Reuse successful campaign templates

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Google Drive and Hubspot to Notis.
  • 2Create an automation: 'When a new campaign brief is created in Drive, search Hubspot for existing campaigns with similar names or topics and send me a summary.'
  • 3Select the trigger: 'File Created' in your campaign briefs folder.
  • 4Choose your notification channel.
  • 5Test by creating a new brief and checking that Notis sends you a list of related campaigns in Hubspot.

Questions about this workflow

How does Notis know what 'similar' means?

Notis reads the brief filename or document and searches Hubspot for campaigns with matching keywords or topic areas.

Will this slow down campaign creation?

No. Notis sends the search results in a message while your team continues planning. It's an informational check, not a blocker.

Can I customize what Notis searches for?

Yes. Tell Notis which fields to search (campaign name, type, goal) in your automation prompt.

Supported Triggers and Actions

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

Google Drive triggers

Hubspot actions

Comment Added (Docs/Sheets/Slides)

Triggers when a new comment is added to Google Docs, Sheets, or Slides.

TriggerPolling

Add asset association

Associates an existing asset ('form', 'object list', or 'external web url') with a specified hubspot marketing campaign.

ActionInstant

File Created

Triggers when a new file is created in Google Drive.

TriggerPolling

Add token to event template

Adds a new custom data token to an existing event template for a specified hubspot application, optionally populating a crm object property if objectpropertyname is provided.

ActionInstant

File Deleted or Trashed

Triggers when a file is moved to trash or permanently deleted in Drive.

TriggerPolling

Archive email

Archives the hubspot email specified by `emailid` by moving it to the recycling bin, making it inaccessible unless restored.

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

Archive a batch of emails by ID

Archives multiple hubspot crm emails by id; ids must exist as archiving is irreversible.

ActionInstant

File Updated

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

TriggerPolling

Archive a batch of quotes by id

Archives a batch of existing, non-archived quotes by their ids; this action is irreversible and useful for managing outdated or irrelevant quotes.

ActionInstant

Google Drive Changes

Triggers when changes are detected in a Google Drive.

TriggerPolling

Archive batch of companies by id

Archives a batch of companies by their unique ids; targeted companies must exist, not be previously archived, and this api operation is irreversible.

ActionInstant

New File Matching Query

Triggers when a new Google Drive file matches a provided query. This is the legacy query-centric trigger: it preserves Drive API query config such as ``corpora`` / ``driveId`` aliases and emits the historical ``file_matching_query`` event type. ``FileCreatedTrigger`` covers the broader "new file" case and emits ``file_created``.

TriggerPolling

Archive batch of contacts by id

Archives a batch of existing contacts by their hubspot crm ids, rendering them inactive; this action is irreversible via the api and requires manual restoration or a separate unarchive endpoint.

ActionInstant

Archive batch of deals by id

Archives a batch of existing deals by their unique hubspot ids, removing them from active views and reports (soft delete); archived deals may be restorable.

ActionInstant
