Log Drive sharing changes in Discord

Make access changes visible while the context is still fresh.

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

Post message to channel

Sends a message to a specified discord channel (text, embeds, stickers, components, attachments); requires `send messages` permission and one of `content`, `embeds`, `sticker ids`, or `attachments`.

Why this helps

New file access can go unnoticed until a security review or accidental disclosure.

  • Improve access visibility
  • Support lightweight audits
  • Spot unexpected sharing

  • 2Create an automation that logs the file, recipient, permission, and review question.
  • 3Pick File Shared (Permissions Added) as the trigger.
  • 4Choose the report channel and test with one permission grant.

Supported Triggers and Actions

Notis builds workflows that link Google Super to Discordbot. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.

Google Super triggers

Discordbot actions

Recurring trigger

Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.

TriggerScheduled

Add recipient to group channel

Adds a user to a discord group direct message (dm) channel.

ActionInstant

Webhook trigger

Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.

TriggerInstant

Update guild member information

Adds a user (who is not already a member) to a guild using their `access token` (which must have `guilds.join` scope), optionally setting nickname, roles, mute/deaf status, or flags.

ActionInstant

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.

TriggerPolling

Assign role to guild member

Assigns a role to a guild member, provided the bot has 'manage roles' permission in the guild and the role to be assigned is hierarchically lower than the bot's highest role.

ActionInstant

Attendee Response Changed

Polling trigger that fires when any attendee's RSVP changes to accepted, declined, or tentative. Returns attendee info and current status.

TriggerPolling

Add reaction to message

Adds an emoji reaction from the authenticated user/bot to a specific message in a discord channel; does not return information about existing reactions.

ActionInstant

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.

TriggerPolling

Add or update thread member

Adds a user to a specific, unarchived thread; the user must have access to the thread's parent channel, and for private threads, the bot must already be a member.

ActionInstant

Comment Added (Docs/Sheets/Slides)

Triggers when a new comment is added to Google Docs, Sheets, or Slides.

TriggerPolling

Modify guild ban settings

Permanently bans a user from a discord guild, optionally deleting their recent messages (specify deletion period in seconds or days, not both).

ActionInstant

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.

TriggerPolling

Bulk ban users in guild with message deletion option

Bans up to 200 users from a discord guild, optionally deleting their recent messages; the bot must have 'ban members' permission in the guild, and this action is irreversible.

ActionInstant

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.

TriggerPolling

Bulk delete messages in channel

Atomically bulk deletes messages in a discord channel for moderation or maintenance; deletion may not be instantaneous and messages are unrecoverable.

ActionInstant

Connect any two apps with Notis in the middle.

Google Super and Discordbot, or any other combination from 1,000+ integrations.
