Trigger

Action

Get Boolean Variables

Tool to fetch all boolean variables. use when you need the full list of boolean variables and their current states.

Why this helps

Deleting a document can leave related automation state unnoticed in another app.

  • Links cleanup to state review
  • Makes hidden switches visible
  • Supports safer decommissioning

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Google Docs and Apilio in Notis once.
  • 2Create an automation for deleted document state review.
  • 3Tell Notis to fetch all Apilio boolean variables and explain which may relate to the deleted document.
  • 4Pick Document Deleted as the trigger.
  • 5Select a report channel and test by trashing one disposable document.

Questions about this workflow

Will this change any Apilio variable?

No. The selected action retrieves boolean variables for review.

Can I limit the review to one document type?

Include the document context and your criteria in the automation instruction so Notis can focus its analysis.
