Automatically Update Team Access to Your Drive Files

When you update a Notion page, Notis automatically adjusts sharing permissions on the matching Drive file so your team can see the latest version without delay.

Trigger

Action

Add file sharing preference

Modifies sharing permissions for an existing google drive file, granting a specified role to a user, group, domain, or 'anyone'.

Why this helps

You update a shared document in Notion but forget to re-share the Drive version, leaving your team working with outdated information.

  • Ensure team always sees current versions
  • Reduce communication overhead
  • Automate permission management
  • Prevent outdated file access issues

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Notion and Google Drive to Notis
  • 2Create the automation: 'When I update a page in Notion, make sure the matching Drive file is shared with my team'
  • 3Select 'All Page Events' as your trigger
  • 4Specify which team members or email addresses should have access
  • 5Choose the permission level (view, comment, edit)
  • 6Test by updating a Notion page and checking Drive permissions

Questions about this workflow

Will this remove access from people who shouldn't have it?

By default, no. You can ask Notis to enforce a specific list of people if you want to restrict access strictly.

Can I set different permissions for different pages?

Yes. You can create multiple automations with different rules for different databases or page types.

Supported Triggers and Actions

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

Comment Created

Triggers when a new comment is created in Notion. Optional `page_id` filter scopes to comments on a specific page. When omitted, fires for any new comment in the workspace the integration has access to. Requires the 'Read comments' capability on the Notion integration. If a connection was authorized before that capability was enabled, the user must re-authorize the connection for comment events to flow.

TriggerInstant

Copy file

Duplicates an existing file in google drive, identified by its `file id`.

ActionInstant

New Comment

Triggers when a new comment is added to a specified Notion block or page.

Create Comment

Tool to create a comment on a file. use when you need to add a new comment to a specific file in google drive.

ActionInstant

Database Created

Triggers when a new Notion database (the container) is created. A database is the post-2025-09-03 container that holds one or more data sources. This trigger fires for the container's creation event (`database.created`), distinct from `NOTION_DATASOURCE_CREATED` which fires when a new data source is added to an existing database. Most customers calling Notion's `POST /v1/databases` (the legacy API) or creating a database via the Notion UI will see this event. Adding a new data source to an existing database fires `data_source.created` instead — use `NOTION_DATASOURCE_CREATED` for that. Notion's payload puts `entity.type: "block"` (the container is a `child_database` block in the content tree) and `entity.id` is the database id.

TriggerInstant

Create Shared Drive

Tool to create a new shared drive. use when you need to programmatically create a new shared drive for collaboration or storage.

ActionInstant

Data Source Created

Triggers when a new Notion data source is created. Fires workspace-wide. The payload's `data.parent` carries the data source's tree parent (typically the teamspace) for downstream filtering. A single template-based database creation can fire multiple `data_source.created` events at once — one per data source the template instantiates.

TriggerInstant

Create File or Folder

Creates a new file or folder with metadata. use to create empty files or folders, or files with content by providing it in the request body (though this action primarily focuses on metadata creation).

ActionInstant

Data Source Schema Updated

Triggers when a Notion data source's schema is updated. Fires on column add / remove / rename. Payload includes `data.updated_properties: [{id, name, action}]` so consumers can discriminate the kind of change downstream. Optional `data_source_id` filter scopes to schema changes on a single data source. When omitted, fires for any schema change in the workspace the integration has access to. Note: adding a column also fires `page.properties_updated` once per existing row in the data source. Customers wanting a single structural-change signal should use this trigger.

TriggerInstant

Create a File from Text

Creates a new file in google drive from provided text content (up to 10mb), supporting various formats including automatic conversion to google workspace types.

ActionInstant

New Page

Triggers when a new page is added to a Notion database.

TriggerPolling

Create a folder

Creates a new folder in google drive, optionally within a parent folder specified by its id or name; if a parent name is provided but not found, the action will fail.

ActionInstant

Page Added to Page

Fires when a new subpage (a `child_page` type block) is added under a specified parent Notion page.

TriggerPolling

Create Reply

Tool to create a reply to a comment in google drive. use when you need to respond to an existing comment on a file.
