Update result delivery after a Drive share

Keep research output routing aligned with who now needs 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

Update Destination

Tool to update a destination's configuration by ID. Use after creating or retrieving a destination to modify its settings.

Why this helps

A newly shared Drive file often signals a new stakeholder, but result delivery settings remain unchanged.

  • Keeps delivery aligned with collaborators
  • Reduces access coordination
  • Makes sharing changes actionable

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Google Super and Countdown api once in Notis.
  • 2Create an automation that reviews the new Drive permission and updates the related Countdown destination as instructed.
  • 3Pick File Shared as the trigger.
  • 4Choose a report channel and test with one controlled sharing change.
