Update Amplitude user properties from a document milestone
Reflect operational progress in the user attributes your team analyzes.
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
Update User Properties in Amplitude
Update user properties using amplitude's identify api. this action allows you to: - set or update the user id for a device id - update user properties without sending an event - perform operations on user properties (set, append, etc.) - update user attributes like device info and location
Why this helps
Progress milestones are known in documents but never reflected in the user properties used for segmentation.
- Keeps segmentation attributes current
- Links operational progress to users
- Reduces manual identify calls
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Docs and Amplitude in Notis once.
- 2Create an automation for the document milestone.
- 3Tell Notis which user or account properties to update and how to identify the target.
- 4Pick Document Word Count Threshold as the trigger and choose a report channel.
- 5Test with one representative milestone.
Questions about this workflow
What target user should be updated?
Provide the user or account identifier in the document or in the automation instruction.
Can it append values instead of replacing them?
Yes, specify the intended user property operation in the instruction.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Google Docs to Amplitude. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Google Docs triggers
Amplitude actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Check Amplitude Cohort Status
Check the status of a cohort export request. this action allows you to: - poll the status of an in-progress cohort download request - determine if a cohort is ready for download
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Create Amplitude Event Category
Create a new event category in amplitude. this action allows you to: - create a new event category to organize event types - validate category name before creation key features: - creates event categories for organizing events - returns success/failure status
New Document Created
Triggers when a new Google Doc is created. This trigger monitors Google Docs and fires when new documents are detected. Uses timestamp filtering to efficiently poll for new documents.
Create Amplitude Event Type
Create a new event type in amplitude. this action allows you to: - define a new event type with various properties - associate the event with a category - add metadata like description, tags, and owner key features: - creates trackable events in your amplitude project - supports full event type configuration
Document Deleted
Triggers when an existing Google Doc is deleted (moved to trash). This trigger monitors Google Docs and fires when documents are trashed.
Delete Amplitude Event Category
Delete an event category from amplitude. this action allows you to: - delete an existing event category - remove category organization from events key features: - permanently removes event categories - returns success/failure status
Document Placeholder Filled
Triggers when a Google Doc's plain text changes such that a configured placeholder token/pattern is no longer present (i.e., the document has been filled in). 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.
Delete Amplitude Event Type
Delete an event type from amplitude. this action allows you to: - remove an event type from your project - mark live events as deleted - remove planned events from the tracking plan key features: - different behavior based on event status (live, planned, etc.) - returns success/failure status
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.
Request Amplitude Cohort
Get a single cohort by id and initiate download. this action allows you to: - request a specific cohort from amplitude - optionally include user properties in the response - start the asynchronous download process key features: - supports filtering by specific user properties - returns a request id used for polling status and downloading - supports eu data residency
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
Get Amplitude Event Categories
Get event categories from amplitude. this action allows you to: - get all event categories in your project - get a specific category by name
Document Updated
Triggers when an existing Google Doc is updated or modified. This trigger monitors Google Docs and fires when documents are updated.
Get Amplitude Event Type
Get a specific event type from amplitude by name. this action allows you to: - retrieve detailed information about a single event type - get all properties and metadata for the event key features: - retrieves comprehensive event type details - returns metadata like category, description, and settings - supports lookup by exact event name
