Trigger
File CreatedTriggers when a new file is created in Google Drive.
Trigger
File Deleted or TrashedTriggers when a file is moved to trash or permanently deleted in Drive.
Trigger
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.
Trigger
File UpdatedTriggers when a file's metadata or content changes in Google Drive.
Trigger
Google Drive ChangesTriggers when changes are detected in a Google Drive.
Trigger
New File Matching QueryTriggers when a new Google Drive file matches a provided query.
