Send Bolt audit messages for shared Drive files

Make access changes visible to the device or workspace that tracks 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

Bolt IoT Serial Write

Tool to send serial data to a bolt device. use when you need to transmit ascii data over uart after initializing uart with serialbegin.

Why this helps

File sharing changes can be hard to notice and easy to leave undocumented.

  • Create a hardware visible access signal
  • Keep permission changes in an operational stream
  • Reduce manual audit checks

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Google Super and Bolt iot in Notis.
  • 2Create and name the automation.
  • 3Tell Notis to send a concise serial audit message when a file receives a new permission, including the details you need.
  • 4Choose File Shared (Permissions Added) as the trigger and select a report destination.
  • 5Share one test file and verify the serial message.

Questions about this workflow

What does the sharing trigger detect?

It detects newly granted permissions on a Drive file or folder.

Can the message omit sensitive details?

Yes. State exactly which metadata should be included in the instruction.

Supported Triggers and Actions

Notis builds workflows that link Google Super to Bolt iot. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.

Google Super triggers

Bolt iot actions

Recurring trigger

Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.

TriggerScheduled

Analog Read

Tool to read the analog value from a specified pin on a bolt device. use when you need sensor readings (0–1023) after confirming the device is online.

ActionInstant

Webhook trigger

Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.

TriggerInstant

Bolt IoT Digital Write

Tool to set a digital pin high or low on a specified bolt device. use when controlling actuators or leds via digital output.

ActionInstant

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.

TriggerPolling

Check Bolt device online status

Tool to check whether a specified bolt device is online. use when you need to verify device connectivity before sending commands (e.g., control signals). example: 'check if device bolt1234567 is online.'

ActionInstant

Attendee Response Changed

Polling trigger that fires when any attendee's RSVP changes to accepted, declined, or tentative. Returns attendee info and current status.

TriggerPolling

Bolt IoT Digital Write

Tool to set a digital pin high or low on a specified bolt device. use when controlling actuators or leds via digital output.

ActionInstant

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.

TriggerPolling

Bolt IoT Serial Read

Tool to read incoming serial data from a bolt device. use when you've initialized uart with serialbegin and need to retrieve serial data.

ActionInstant

Comment Added (Docs/Sheets/Slides)

Triggers when a new comment is added to Google Docs, Sheets, or Slides.

TriggerPolling

Bolt IoT Serial Write

Tool to send serial data to a bolt device. use when you need to transmit ascii data over uart after initializing uart with serialbegin.

ActionInstant

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.

TriggerPolling

Bolt IoT Serial Write & Read

Tool to send serial data and read the response on a bolt device. use when you need to transmit ascii data over uart and capture its reply immediately.

ActionInstant

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.

TriggerPolling

Connect any two apps with Notis in the middle.

Google Super and Bolt iot, or any other combination from 1,000+ integrations.
