Share Google Drive Files from Telegram Approvals via Webhook
Approval granted? Notis instantly shares the Google Drive file with the right people, no manual permission juggling.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
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
Approvals happen in various systems, but file sharing in Drive is manual; people wait for access or you forget to grant it.
- File access is granted automatically on approval
- No delays waiting for manual permission grants
- Audit trail of who got access when
- Scales for high-volume approvals
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Drive to Notis.
- 2Create an automation named 'Auto-Share on Approval'.
- 3Tell Notis: 'When you receive a webhook from our approval system containing user_id and file_id, share that Google Drive file with the approved user with Viewer permissions.'
- 4Set the trigger to Notis Webhook and configure the webhook URL.
- 5Test by sending a sample approval webhook and verifying the file is shared in Drive.
Questions about this workflow
How do I send the webhook from my approval system?
Notis provides a webhook URL. Configure your system to POST to that URL with user_id, file_id, and any other context you want. Notis will parse it and share the file.
Can I grant different permission levels (Viewer vs. Editor)?
Yes. Specify the role in your webhook payload, and Notis applies it.
What if the file doesn't exist?
Notis will report an error in your dashboard. You can configure it to skip, retry, or alert you.
