Align Backendless Permissions with Drive Sharing
Carry approved access changes across your connected workspace.
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
Grant Permission to User
Tool to grant a permission to a user on a specific data object. use when precise access rights must be assigned after verifying the table and object ids. example: "grant find permission to a user for a person record".
Why this helps
Sharing a source file does not automatically update access to related backend data.
- Reduce access mismatches
- Apply sharing decisions faster
- Create an auditable report
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Super and Backendless in Notis once.
- 2Create an automation that identifies the related Backendless object and grants the named permission to the new user.
- 3Pick the File Shared trigger.
- 4Choose where reports go and test with one real permission change.
Questions about this workflow
Can it grant any permission?
Use a permission supported by Backendless and state it in the prompt.
Does Drive sharing alone identify the Backendless object?
You must provide the relationship or lookup rule in the instruction.

Notis builds workflows that link Google Super to Backendless. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Google Super triggers
Backendless actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.

Triggers when a new comment is added to Google Docs, Sheets, or Slides.
Delete File
Tool to delete a file at the specified path in backendless file storage. use after confirming the file's relative path and filename.
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.
Delete Backendless Timer
Tool to delete a backendless timer by name. use when you need to remove a scheduled timer after confirming its name.
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.
Directory Listing
Tool to retrieve a listing of files and directories at a given path. use when browsing or filtering file storage directories.
