Auto-Share New Google Drive Files With Your Team
Why make the team download files from Google Drive when you can send them directly to Telegram? New files are automatically attached and ready to use.
Trigger
File Created
Triggers when a new file is created in Google Drive.
Action
Send Document
Send general files (documents) to a telegram chat using the bot api.
Why this helps
When team members create new files in Google Drive, colleagues have to search for them or ask for the link. This extra friction delays collaboration and makes it easy to forget about new resources.
- Share new files with the team instantly without waiting for manual forwarding
- Save time by eliminating manual file sharing steps
- Ensure all team members know about and can access new files immediately
- Keep collaboration moving faster with less manual coordination
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Drive and Telegram to Notis.
- 2Create an automation: 'Whenever a new file is created in Google Drive, attach it to Telegram automatically'.
- 3Choose which Google Drive folders to monitor (or monitor all new files).
- 4Set the trigger: Google Drive File Created event.
- 5Select the Telegram channel to receive file attachments.
- 6Create a test file in Google Drive and confirm it arrives as a Telegram attachment.
Questions about this workflow
Will large files cause problems when attaching to Telegram?
Telegram has file size limits (around 2GB). Notis can be configured to send files over the limit as links instead of full attachments.
Can I filter which files get auto-attached based on type or folder?
Yes. Customize the automation to attach only certain file types ('only Sheets', 'only Docs') or files from specific folders.
Does the file attachment include a preview or description?
Notis sends the file with metadata like the creator's name and file type. You can add custom descriptions to the Telegram message if needed.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Google Drive to Telegram. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Google Drive triggers
Telegram actions
Comment Added (Docs/Sheets/Slides)

Answer Callback Query
Use this method to send answers to callback queries sent from inline keyboards. the answer will be displayed to the user as a notification at the top of the chat screen or as an alert.
File Created

Delete Message
Delete a message, including service messages, with certain limitations.
File Deleted or Trashed
Triggers when a file is moved to trash or permanently deleted in Drive.
Edit Message
Edit text messages sent by the bot.
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.
Export Chat Invite Link
Generate a new primary invite link for a chat; any previously generated primary link is revoked. the bot must be an administrator in the chat for this to work and must have the appropriate administrator rights.
File Updated
Triggers when a file's metadata or content changes in Google Drive.
Forward Message
Forward messages of any kind. service messages can't be forwarded.
Google Drive Changes
Triggers when changes are detected in a Google Drive.
Get Chat Info
Get up to date information about the chat (current name of the user for one-on-one conversations, current username of a user, group or channel, etc.).
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``.
Get Chat Administrators
Get a list of administrators in a chat. on success, returns an array of chatmember objects that contains information about all chat administrators except other bots.
Get Chat History
Get chat history messages. note: this uses the getupdates method with specific parameters to retrieve historical messages.
