Send an update when a OneDrive file changes
Make meaningful file changes easier to spot with a short email that points stakeholders to the update.
Trigger
File Updated
Trigger that fires when a OneDrive file's content or metadata changes. Returns file ID, last modified time, and modifier info.
Action
Send Email
Sends an email via gmail api using the authenticated user's google profile display name, requiring `is html=true` if the body contains html and valid `s3key`, `mimetype`, `name` for any attachment.
Why this helps
People keep working from stale information because file changes are not surfaced where the team communicates.
- Surface file changes in the inbox stakeholders already use.
- Include available modifier and last-modified information.
- Reduce confusion about whether a file is current.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect OneDrive and Gmail once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis what you want from any channel.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to email your chosen stakeholders when a OneDrive file changes, with the available file and modification details.
- 4Pick the File Updated trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real file update.
