Keep new Drive access visible

Notice when someone gains access to a shared file and keep collaboration changes easier to follow.

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

Send Message

Send a text message to a telegram chat using the bot api.

Why this helps

Sharing changes can be easy to miss, leaving uncertainty about who can access important work.

  • See that a file or folder received a new sharing permission.
  • Keep access changes visible without opening Drive activity.
  • Prompt a quick check that the collaboration is expected.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Google Super and Telegram to Notis once in the portal.
  • 2Create an automation and tell Notis in plain language how to announce a new Drive access grant in Telegram.
  • 3Choose File Shared (Permissions Added) as the trigger and select the run-report channel.
  • 4Test with one appropriate real sharing change and review the notification.

Questions about this workflow

Does this trigger detect newly added permissions?

Yes. It identifies newly added sharing grants by comparing the current permissions with previously seen permissions.

Can every brief permission change be detected?

A permission added and revoked between polls may not be detected; the trigger documents this limitation.
