Update Alttext ai settings after a Drive share

Keep account configuration aligned with a new collaboration handoff.

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

Update Account

Tool to update account settings (e.g., webhook url, name). use after confirming current account details to modify settings.

Why this helps

A new collaborator may require an account setting change, but the configuration task gets separated from the sharing event.

  • Links configuration work to collaboration events
  • Creates an auditable run report
  • Reduces missed operational updates

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Google Super and Alttext ai in Notis once.
  • 2Create an automation for approved sharing follow-up.
  • 3Tell Notis to review the event and update the specified Alttext ai account setting only when the instruction's condition is met.
  • 4Pick Google Super's File Shared trigger and choose a report channel.
  • 5Test with one controlled sharing event.

Questions about this workflow

Will it change settings for every share?

Only if your instruction explicitly authorizes that condition and setting change.

Should I verify current settings first?

Yes. Ask Notis to retrieve current account details before applying an update.
