Connect Google Drive and Strava to power automations.

Supported Triggers and Actions

Notis builds workflows that link Google Drive to Strava. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.

Google Drive triggers

Strava actions

Comment Added (Docs/Sheets/Slides)

Triggers when a new comment is added to Google Docs, Sheets, or Slides.

TriggerPolling

Get Activity Laps

Retrieves lap data for a specific Strava activity by its identifier. Laps represent segments of an activity, typically auto-generated during activities like running or cycling based on distance intervals, manual lap button presses, or course segments. Use this action when you need detailed performance metrics for each lap within an activity, including timing, distance, speed, cadence, and elevation data.

ActionInstant

File Created

Triggers when a new file is created in Google Drive.

TriggerPolling

Create an Activity

Creates a manual activity for an athlete. Requires activity:write scope. This endpoint is for manually entered activities only. To upload activity files (FIT, TCX, GPX), use the Upload Activity endpoint instead. Required parameters: name, sport_type, start_date_local, elapsed_time. Optional parameters: type (deprecated), description, distance, trainer, commute.

ActionInstant

File Deleted or Trashed

Triggers when a file is moved to trash or permanently deleted in Drive.

TriggerPolling

Explore segments

Explore segments within a geographic bounding box. Returns the top 10 segments matching the specified geographic boundary and optional filters. Segments are sections of roads or trails where Strava athletes can compete for times. The response includes segment details like: - id: Unique segment identifier - name: Segment name - climb_category: Climbing difficulty (0=NC/flat to 5=HC/hardest) - avg_grade: Average gradient percentage - distance: Segment length in meters - elev_difference: Elevation gain in meters - start_latlng/end_latlng: Start and end coordinates - elevation_profile: URL to elevation profile image

ActionInstant

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.

TriggerPolling

Export Route as GPX

Exports a Strava route as a GPX (GPS Exchange Format) file. GPX files can be used to import routes into GPS devices, other fitness apps, or mapping software. Requires read_all scope for private routes.

ActionInstant

File Updated

Triggers when a file's metadata or content changes in Google Drive.

TriggerPolling

Export Route as TCX

Exports a Strava route as a TCX (Training Center XML) file. TCX format is widely supported by GPS devices, fitness watches, and training software like Garmin Connect and TrainingPeaks. The exported file contains the route's waypoints, distance, and elevation profile. Requires read_all scope for private routes.

ActionInstant

Google Drive Changes

Triggers when changes are detected in a Google Drive.

TriggerPolling

Get Activity

Retrieves detailed information about a specific activity by its ID. Returns a DetailedActivity object containing comprehensive data including distance, time, elevation, speed, heart rate, power data (if available), segment efforts, laps, splits, and more. Permissions required: - activity:read scope for activities with visibility set to 'everyone' or 'followers_only' - activity:read_all scope for activities with visibility set to 'only_me' The activity must be owned by the authenticated athlete.

ActionInstant

New File Matching Query

Triggers when a new Google Drive file matches a provided query. This is the legacy query-centric trigger: it preserves Drive API query config such as ``corpora`` / ``driveId`` aliases and emits the historical ``file_matching_query`` event type. ``FileCreatedTrigger`` covers the broader "new file" case and emits ``file_created``.

TriggerPolling

Get activity streams

Retrieves time-series stream data for a specific activity. Streams are the raw spatial and sensor data recorded during an activity, including GPS coordinates, speed, heart rate, power, etc. Each stream type returns an array of values that correspond to specific time points during the activity. All requested streams have the same number of data points, aligned by index. Common use cases: - GPS track visualization: request 'latlng', 'altitude', 'time' - Performance analysis: request 'heartrate', 'cadence', 'watts', 'time' - Pace/speed analysis: request 'velocity_smooth', 'distance', 'time' Requires activity:read scope. Requires activity:read_all scope for Only Me (private) activities.

ActionInstant

Get Activity Zones

Returns the heart rate and power zones of a given activity. This is a Summit/Premium feature that provides zone distribution data showing time spent in each training zone. The response includes an array of ActivityZone objects, typically containing: - Heart rate zones: Time distribution across heart rate training zones - Power zones: Time distribution across power training zones (for cycling with power meter) Requirements: - Strava Summit/Premium subscription for the athlete who owns the activity - activity:read scope for Everyone and Followers visibility activities - activity:read_all scope for Only Me (private) activities Common errors: - 404: Activity not found or not accessible - 403: Insufficient permissions to view activity - 402: Summit subscription required

Trigger Types

Four ways to start an automation.

A trigger is the event that kicks a workflow off. Notis supports four kinds: an event in a connected app, an inbound webhook, a recurring schedule, and soon, your own database.

Integration triggers

Fire when something happens inside a connected app. New Notion page, Stripe charge, Linear issue: any of 1,000+ apps can start a workflow.

New Notion pageStripe chargeCalendar event

Webhook triggers

A unique URL per workflow. Anything that can send an HTTP POST can start an automation, including no-code tools that speak webhooks.

Recurring triggers

Cron-style schedules run a workflow on the clock. Daily standups, hourly syncs, business-hours-only digests: the workhorse of Notis.

Database triggers

Watch a row, query, or threshold in your own database and fire the moment the data changes. Row inserted, value crosses a limit, query starts matching.

Why AI automation

Classic automation breaks. AI adapts.

Same triggers and actions, smarter middle. AI handles the fuzziness that breaks traditional Zapier-style workflows the moment a field gets renamed.
