Track important Drive sharing changes

Make a new file share visible when it needs team follow-through.

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 linear issue

Creates a new issue in a specified linear project and team, requiring a title and description, and allowing for optional properties like assignee, state, priority, cycle, and due date.

Why this helps

A file may be shared with a new collaborator without the team remembering to coordinate review, onboarding, or access follow-up.

  • Surface meaningful access changes for review.
  • Give collaborator onboarding a clear next step.
  • Reduce uncertainty about who has access to important materials.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Google Super and Linear to Notis once in the portal.
  • 2Ask Notis to create a follow-up issue for relevant new sharing permissions that need coordination.
  • 3Choose File Shared (Permissions Added) and select the channel for run reports.
  • 4Test by granting a real permission on a non-sensitive project file.

Questions about this workflow

Does it notice every permission event?

It detects newly added sharing grants through Drive changes, with the trigger's documented polling limitations.

What should the issue cover?

Describe the review or coordination action that matters, such as confirming collaborator access or onboarding.

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

Get create issue default params

Fetches a linear team's default issue estimate and state, useful for pre-filling new issue forms.

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

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

Get all teams

Retrieves all teams from the linear workspace without requiring any parameters.

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

Downloads a specific attachment from a linear issue; the `file name` must include the correct file extension.

ActionInstant

Connect any two apps with Notis in the middle.

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