OneDrive Item Updated Trigger
Triggers when an existing file or folder is modified in OneDrive. Uses Gmail-style state management and only detects actual modifications, not new creations.
Action
Create email draft
Creates a gmail email draft, supporting to/cc/bcc, subject, plain/html body (ensure `is html=true` for html), attachments, and threading.
Why this helps
Updates to existing files and folders are easy to overlook when they do not create a new item alert.
- Create follow-up drafts only for modifications to existing items.
- Keep the message reviewable before it is sent.
- Reduce missed follow-ups on work already in progress.

- 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 draft a follow-up email when an existing OneDrive file or folder is modified, using available event details.
- 4Pick the OneDrive Item Updated trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real modification to an existing item.
