Geocode locations when files are shared
Give collaborators a precise location as soon as a planning file reaches them.
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
Geocode by Place
Tool to transform a place name or address into geographic coordinates. use after confirming the location name to get precise latitude and longitude.
Why this helps
Shared location documents often rely on ambiguous names that slow down collaboration.
- Creates precise coordinates for shared work
- Reduces location ambiguity
- Runs at the collaboration handoff
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Super and Ambee in Notis.
- 2Create an automation asking Notis to extract a place or address from a file and geocode it after sharing permissions are added.
- 3Select File Shared as the trigger.
- 4Choose the report channel.
- 5Test by sharing one location file.
Questions about this workflow
What if the file contains several places?
Ask Notis to geocode each clearly identified place and summarize the results.
Does sharing content leave Drive?
The workflow reports the geocoding result through your chosen Notis channel.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Google Super to Ambee. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.

Ambee actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Get Air Quality by City
Tool to retrieve real-time air quality data for a specific city. use when you have a valid city name and need current aqi and pollutant levels.
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Get Air Quality by Latitude and Longitude
Tool to retrieve real-time air quality data for a specific latitude and longitude. use when you need hyper-local air quality readings for given coordinates.
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 Air Quality Forecast by Latitude and Longitude
Tool to retrieve air quality forecast for a specific latitude and longitude. use when you need predicted air quality data up to 48 hours in advance based on geographic coordinates.
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 Wildfire Risk Forecast by Place
Tool to retrieve wildfire risk forecast for a specific place. use when you need weekly wildfire risk predictions for a location over the next four weeks.
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.
Geocode by Place
Tool to transform a place name or address into geographic coordinates. use after confirming the location name to get precise latitude and longitude.
Comment Added (Docs/Sheets/Slides)
Triggers when a new comment is added to Google Docs, Sheets, or Slides.
Get Air Quality by City
Tool to retrieve real-time air quality data for a specific city. use after obtaining a valid city name when current aqi and pollutant levels are 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 Air Quality by Country Code
Tool to retrieve real-time air quality data for a specific country using a 3-letter iso code. use after acquiring the country code and when you want a national overview of air quality.
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 Air Quality by Latitude and Longitude
Tool to retrieve real-time air quality data for a specific latitude and longitude. use when you need hyper-local air quality readings for given coordinates.
