Track newly shared Drive files in Basecamp
Give shared assets a dependable home inside the project.
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
Create Upload in Vault
Tool to create a new upload (file) in a Basecamp vault. Use when you need to create an upload entry for a previously uploaded attachment in a specific project vault.
Why this helps
Files get shared in Drive without being added to the project record.
- Improve asset discoverability
- Keep project files together
- Reduce duplicate sharing requests

Questions about this workflow
Can it ignore low-value files?
Yes. Tell Notis which folders, file types, or sharing contexts are relevant.
Does this copy the file contents?
The Basecamp action creates an upload entry for a previously uploaded attachment, so provide the needed attachment context in your instruction.
