Supported Triggers and Actions

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

Google Drive triggers

Convolo ai actions

Comment Added (Docs/Sheets/Slides)

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

TriggerPolling

Create Character

Tool to create a new character. Use when you have name, voice type, backstory, and optional actions ready.

ActionInstant

File Created

Triggers when a new file is created in Google Drive.

TriggerPolling

Define or Update Character Actions

Tool to define or update the list of actions a character can perform. Use when you need to configure or adjust character capabilities before deployment.

ActionInstant

File Deleted or Trashed

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

TriggerPolling

Evaluate Character Performance

Tool to evaluate a character's performance based on interactions. Use after fetching a conversation session and constructing your prompt.

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

Generate Starter Conversation

Tool to generate starter conversation suggestions for a character. Use when you need opening or follow-up dialogue lines.

ActionInstant

File Updated

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

TriggerPolling

Get Character Response

Tool to generate a response from a ConvAI character based on text or audio input. Use when needing a text or voice reply in an ongoing session.

ActionInstant

Google Drive Changes

Triggers when changes are detected in a Google Drive.

TriggerPolling

List Voices

Tool to retrieve the list of available voice types. Use when selecting voices before generating speech.

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

Set Core AI Settings

Tool to set core AI settings for a character. Use after confirming character existence.

ActionInstant

Update Character Backstory

Tool to update a character's backstory. Use when you need to modify the backstory of an existing character after confirming its ID. Only the provided fields will be updated.

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.
