Review Affinity person fields when a document grows
A longer document is a good moment to confirm the contact data behind the narrative.
Trigger
Document Word Count Threshold
Triggers when a Google Doc's word/character count crosses a user-defined threshold. This trigger monitors a specific Google Doc and fires when its word or character count becomes greater than or equal to the configured threshold value.
Action
Get metadata on person fields
Returns metadata on non-list-specific person fields. use the returned field ids to request field data from the get `/v2/persons` and get `/v2/persons/{id}` endpoints.
Why this helps
Long research notes can expand without a clear view of which contact attributes are available for validation.
- Adds structure to long-form contact research
- Shows which fields are available
- Supports more complete review prompts

This trigger monitors a specific Google Doc and fires when a placeholder pattern that was previously present is no longer found in the document's plain text.
Get all list entries on a saved view
Use the endpoint to access rows in a saved view with specific filters and selected fields from a web app. it doesn't maintain sort order, supports only sheet-type views, and requires export permissions.
Document Search Update
Triggers when a Google Doc matching a user-defined search query is newly created or updated since the last poll. This trigger uses timestamp filtering to efficiently monitor documents.
Get all opportunities
Pagination through opportunities in affinity yields basic info but excludes field data. for field data, use specified get endpoints. "export data from lists" permission needed.
Document Structure Changed
Triggers when a Google Doc's structure changes (headers/footers added/removed, tables/images count changes). This trigger monitors a specific document for structural changes like: - Headers added or removed - Footers added or removed - Tables added or removed - Images (inline objects) added or removed - Positioned objects added or removed - Footnotes added or removed
