Create an access review when a Drive file is shared

New access to important files can require a quick check. Notis can create a Jira review issue when a Drive file or folder gets shared.

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

Create Issue

Creates a new jira issue (e.g., bug, task, story) in a specified project.

Why this helps

A file receives new sharing access, but the team has no reliable follow-up to review whether it was intended.

  • Make newly granted file access visible as tracked work.
  • Include available file and permission context for review.
  • Avoid relying on someone to remember to create a follow-up.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Google Super and Jira once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it for shared file review.
  • 3Tell Notis what files need review and to create an issue with the available sharing details when new permissions are granted.
  • 4Choose the file shared trigger, select a report channel, and test with a real permission change.

Questions about this workflow

Does the trigger provide permission details?

It detects newly granted sharing permissions and includes the file's current permission set. Ask Notis to include the relevant available details in the Jira issue.

Can this monitor a folder as well as files?

The trigger supports files and folders. Choose the relevant monitoring scope when setting up the trigger.
