Review folder structure after Drive sharing changes

Make new sharing decisions easier to follow across your document workflow.

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

List folders

Tool to list folders. Use when you need to retrieve all folder IDs and their hierarchy. Must be called after obtaining an API key.

Why this helps

A newly shared file can introduce access and routing questions across tools.

  • Adds visibility after permission changes
  • Supports safer handoffs
  • Reduces routing ambiguity

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect both apps once in Notis.
  • 2Create an automation that requests the current Algodocs folders after a new Drive permission is granted.
  • 3Pick the Google Super File Shared trigger.
  • 4Choose a report channel and test with one sharing event.
