Upsert accounts when Drive sharing changes

A new collaboration signal keeps the organization record ready for follow-up.

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

Upsert Account

This tool creates a new account if it doesn't exist or updates an existing account in activecampaign. it is particularly useful to ensure an account exists without creating duplicates, combining the functionality of create and update operations into a single action.

Why this helps

New collaborators appear in Drive while account records remain missing or stale.

  • Keep organization records current
  • Avoid duplicate accounts
  • Notice new collaboration signals

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Google Super and Active campaign in Notis.
  • 2Create an automation named Shared file account sync.
  • 3Tell Notis to infer the organization from the sharing change and upsert the corresponding account with available details.
  • 4Pick File Shared (Permissions Added) as the trigger.
  • 5Choose a report channel, then test with one real permission change.

Questions about this workflow

Can it act on folders as well as files?

Yes. Configure the trigger scope and tell Notis which shared resources represent organizations.

What if the permission is for an individual?

Tell Notis to create or update an account only when an organization can be identified reliably.
