Add context when a Drive file is shared
A new sharing permission can be a cue to check related project or document history in Elasticsearch.
Trigger
File Shared (Permissions Added)
Triggers when new sharing permissions are granted to a file or folder.
Action
Query Index
Searches an Elasticsearch index for documents.
Why this helps
Shared files can trigger follow-up decisions, but relevant history may be difficult to find quickly.
- Surface indexed records related to a newly shared file.
- Make sharing follow-up easier to review.
- Get a concise report when permissions are added.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Super and Elasticsearch once in Notis.
- 2Create an automation in Notis and give it a clear name.
- 3Tell Notis to search a specified Elasticsearch index for records related to each shared file and summarize useful matches.
- 4Choose File Shared (Permissions Added) as the trigger and select where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real file sharing event.
Questions about this workflow
Does the trigger identify the exact new permission?
The trigger description says it emits the file's current permission set and diffs it against previously seen permissions. The workflow should only report details supplied by that event.
Will this change file access or Elasticsearch data?
No. The listed action searches Elasticsearch. It does not change Drive permissions or update indexed records.
