Automatic Version Distribution to Your Team
Every time a file updates, send the latest version to Telegram automatically. No more searching for current files or wondering which version teammates have.
Trigger
File Updated
Triggers when a file's metadata or content changes in Google Drive.
Action
Send Document
Send general files (documents) to a telegram chat using the bot api.
Why this helps
When files update, the team often doesn't have the latest version. Multiple versions exist in different locations, causing confusion and rework when people use outdated files.
- Always share the latest version with teammates when files update
- Eliminate confusion about which version is current
- Reduce rework caused by using outdated files
- Keep the team aligned on the most recent versions
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Drive and Telegram to Notis.
- 2Create an automation: 'Whenever a Google Drive file is updated, send the latest version to my team channel in Telegram'.
- 3Set the trigger: Google Drive File Updated event.
- 4Specify which files or folders to track for version updates.
- 5Choose the Telegram channel to receive updated file versions.
- 6Edit a Google Doc or Sheet and verify the updated file appears in Telegram shortly after.
Questions about this workflow
Will every single keystroke send a new version, or is there batching?
You can batch updates. For example: 'Send a new version every 30 minutes if there are changes' or 'One version per day'.
What if I don't want to send very large files to Telegram?
Configure the automation to send files over a certain size as links instead of full attachments. Notis handles size limits automatically.
Can I keep older versions archived in Telegram?
Yes. Notis can organize versions in Telegram threads or channels so you maintain a version history accessible to the team.

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)
Triggers when a new comment is added to Google Docs, Sheets, or 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
Triggers when a new file is created in Google Drive.
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.
