Check browser processing after a file is shared

Know whether the browser work for a newly shared file is ready for collaborators.

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

Retrieve a browser session

Tool to retrieve details of a specific browser session. use when you have a session id and need its metadata (status, urls, timestamps).

Why this helps

Sharing a file can happen before its browser based processing is complete or verified.

  • Verify processing before handoff
  • Reduce collaborator confusion
  • Surface incomplete browser work

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Google Super and Browserbase tool once in Notis.
  • 2Create an automation named Shared file session check.
  • 3Tell Notis to retrieve the related Browserbase session and report its status when a file is shared.
  • 4Pick File Shared (Permissions Added) as the trigger.
  • 5Choose a report channel and test with one real share.

Questions about this workflow

How is the related session identified?

Include the file name, ID, or another reference your browser workflow preserves.

Can it notify me when the session is still running?

Yes. Ask Notis to flag running, failed, or completed states separately.
