Update Clientary clients after Drive sharing

Reflect collaboration changes where your client work is managed.

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

Update Client

Tool to update an existing client record in Clientary with partial or complete field modifications. Use when you need to modify client details such as name, address, description, or custom fields. All fields except ID are optional.

Why this helps

Client records become stale when file access changes are handled separately.

  • Keep collaboration status visible
  • Reduce administrative follow-up
  • Create a reliable handoff

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Google Super and Clientary once in Notis.
  • 2Create an automation that identifies the related client and records the new collaborator or access context in Clientary.
  • 3Pick File Shared (Permissions Added) as the trigger.
  • 4Choose a report channel and test with one shared file.

Questions about this workflow

Can it handle folders as well as files?

Yes. The trigger covers files and folders when permissions are added.

What if the related client is ambiguous?

Notis can report the ambiguity for review instead of changing the wrong record.
