Check Diffbot capacity when research is shared
Know whether your extraction budget can support a new collaboration before the work expands.
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 Diffbot Account Details
Tool to retrieve account details, including plan information and usage statistics. use after authenticating to verify subscription and daily quota status.
Why this helps
A shared research file can trigger a larger workload without anyone checking remaining extraction capacity.
- See plan and usage context early
- Plan shared extraction work
- Avoid quota surprises
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Super and Diffbot in Notis.
- 2Create an automation named Shared file quota check.
- 3Tell Notis to retrieve Diffbot account details and summarize plan, usage, and any capacity concern after a file is shared.
- 4Pick File Shared as the trigger and choose a report channel.
- 5Test by sharing one research file with a collaborator.
Questions about this workflow
Does this change the Diffbot plan?
No. It only retrieves account details and usage statistics.
Can it estimate future usage?
Ask Notis to make an estimate only when you provide expected URL counts and extraction types.
