Document new Drive access grants
Every new share can produce a clear record of who gained access and where.
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

Tool to generate a carbone report from a template and json data. use when you need to render documents in various formats.
Why this helps
Sharing decisions become difficult to audit when permission changes are scattered across Drive.
- Creates a searchable sharing record
- Improves operational visibility
- Reduces uncertainty around access changes
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Super and Carbone in Notis once.
- 2Create an automation named Drive access report.
- 3Tell Notis to summarize the new permissions and generate an access report.
- 4Pick File Shared (Permissions Added) as the trigger and choose a report channel.
- 5Test by sharing one real file with a permitted collaborator.
