Automatic Document Sharing When Files Match Your Criteria
Stop manually finding and sharing documents. When new files match your search criteria in Google Drive, Notis automatically sends them to Telegram as documents.
Trigger
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``.
Action
Send Document
Send general files (documents) to a telegram chat using the bot api.
Why this helps
Founders spend time manually searching Google Drive for files matching certain criteria, then forwarding them to the team. This repetitive manual work wastes time and causes important documents to be missed.
- Stop manually finding and forwarding files that match your criteria
- Automatically share relevant documents with the team in Telegram
- Ensure nothing matching your search criteria gets missed
- Reduce manual forwarding work and free up time for strategic thinking
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Drive and Telegram to Notis.
- 2Create an automation: 'Whenever a new Google Drive file matches [your search criteria], send it to my Telegram channel as a document'.
- 3Specify your search query in the automation prompt (e.g., 'files with client feedback in the name', 'all new Sheets in the design folder').
- 4Set the trigger: Google Drive New File Matching Query event.
- 5Choose the Telegram channel to receive matching files.
- 6Create a test file matching your criteria and verify it arrives in Telegram.
Questions about this workflow
What kind of search queries can I use?
Notis supports Google Drive's search syntax, so you can search by file name, content, folder, owner, type, and more. For example: 'name contains proposal', 'mimeType = video', or 'in parents [folder-id]'.
Can I set different queries for different types of files?
Yes. Create multiple automations, each with its own search criteria. Route them to different Telegram channels if you want to organize files by type or team.
Will large documents be fully sent to Telegram or just linked?
Notis sends the file as a Telegram document attachment (for files under Telegram's size limits). Very large files can be configured to send as links instead.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Google Drive to Telegram. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.

Delete Message

File Deleted or Trashed

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.
