Add Affinity context when research is shared
When you share a file, know which tracked companies connect to that work.
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

- 1Connect Google Super and Affinity in Notis.
- 2Create an automation that identifies related companies from the shared file and retrieves their Affinity lists.
- 3Pick File Shared as the trigger.
- 4Choose where run reports go and test with one permission change.

Google Super triggers
Affinity actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Get a company s list entries

Aggregate Metric Changed
Triggers when an aggregate metric (SUM/COUNT/AVG/MIN/MAX) changes in a Google Sheets spreadsheet. This trigger monitors an aggregate calculation on a target column (optionally filtered by a search column/value) and fires when the calculated result changes.
Get all companies
Affinity api allows paginated access to company info and custom fields. use `fieldids` or `fieldtypes` to specify data in a request. retrieve field ids/types via get `/v2/companies/fields`. export permission needed.
Attendee Response Changed
Polling trigger that fires when any attendee's RSVP changes to accepted, declined, or tentative. Returns attendee info and current status.
Get all list entries on a list
Access and export essential data and metadata for companies, persons, or opportunities from a list, specifying data via `fieldids` or `fieldtypes`. "export data from lists" permission is necessary.
Cell Range Values Changed
Triggers when values in a specified A1 range change in Google Sheets. This trigger monitors a specific cell or range of cells and fires when any values change.
Get all list entries on a saved view
Use the endpoint to access rows in a saved view with specific filters and selected fields from a web app. it doesn't maintain sort order, supports only sheet-type views, and requires export permissions.
Comment Added (Docs/Sheets/Slides)
Triggers when a new comment is added to Google Docs, Sheets, or Slides.
Get all opportunities
Pagination through opportunities in affinity yields basic info but excludes field data. for field data, use specified get endpoints. "export data from lists" permission needed.
Conditional Format Rule Changed
Triggers when conditional formatting rules change in a Google Spreadsheet. Detects when rules are added, updated, or removed. Uses snapshot-based diffing to detect changes between polls.
Get all persons
The affinity api offers paginated access to person data using `fieldids` or `fieldtypes`. bulk extraction needs special permissions and supports multiple parameters.
Data Validation Rule Changed
Triggers when data validation rules change (added/updated/removed) in a Google Spreadsheet. Uses snapshot-based diffing to detect changes between polls.
Get a person s list entries
Summary: browse rows for a person in all lists, showing field data and entry metadata like creation time and author. requires "export data from lists" permission.
