Ingest files when sharing changes
Prepare newly shared files for processing as soon as collaborators receive access.
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
Upload File From URL
Tool to upload a file directly from a remote url. use when you need to import files hosted on a remote server without downloading locally.
Why this helps
A shared file may need conversion immediately, but the handoff gets lost between Drive and processing tools.
- Starts from a collaboration event
- Imports the file without manual download
- Creates a processing-ready file ID
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Super and Convertapi in Notis.
- 2Create an automation that uploads the shared file URL to Convertapi.
- 3Pick File Shared as the trigger.
- 4Choose where reports go and test by sharing one eligible file.
Questions about this workflow
What sharing event is used?
The workflow starts when new permissions are added to a Drive file or folder.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Google Super to Convertapi. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Google Super triggers
Convertapi actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Async Convert
Tool to perform an asynchronous file conversion. use when converting large or long-running files to avoid client timeouts.
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Delete Async Job
Tool to delete a previously created asynchronous conversion job. use when the job is no longer required to free server resources.
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.
Delete Uploaded File
Tool to delete a previously uploaded file. use when the file is no longer needed and should be removed from temporary storage.
Attendee Response Changed
Polling trigger that fires when any attendee's RSVP changes to accepted, declined, or tentative. Returns attendee info and current status.
Get Supported Input Formats For Output
Tool to list all input formats that can convert to a specified output format. use after deciding the target output format.
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.
Convert PDF to DOCX
Tool to convert pdf files to docx format. use when you need editable word documents from pdfs. provide pdf content or url and receive docx file metadata and download links.
Comment Added (Docs/Sheets/Slides)
Triggers when a new comment is added to Google Docs, Sheets, or Slides.
Convert PDF to JPG and Store
Tool to convert a pdf to jpg and store the result on the server. use when individual jpg pages are needed for further workflow steps.
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.
Upload File From URL
Tool to upload a file directly from a remote url. use when you need to import files hosted on a remote server without downloading locally.
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.
Upload File (Multipart)
Tool to upload a file via multipart/form-data. use when you need to store a file on convertapi's servers (up to 3 hours) and obtain a fileid for subsequent conversions.
