Create Apollo contacts from new Google Docs
Capture every prospect brief while it is still fresh.
Trigger
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.
Action
