Look up CircleCI user details after file sharing

When access changes, identify the related CircleCI user for a clean handoff.

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

Get User Information

Tool to retrieve information about a circleci user by their unique id. use when you need user profile details after obtaining the user id.

Why this helps

Permission changes create follow up work, but identity details are scattered across systems.

  • Adds identity context to access changes
  • Improves handoff clarity
  • Reduces manual account searches

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Google Super and Circleci in Notis once.
  • 2Create an automation named Shared file user lookup.
  • 3Describe how to identify the related CircleCI user when a Drive permission is added and what profile details to report.
  • 4Pick File Shared (Permissions Added) and choose the report channel.
  • 5Test with one real sharing change.
