Validate matching Docs before Appdrag release

Use a focused document search to start a safe preproduction validation.

Trigger

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.

Action

Execute Function POST (Preprod Env)

Tool to execute a Cloud Backend API function via POST on the preprod environment. Use when you need to test a function in the preprod environment before releasing to production. Include apiKey if your function requires APIKey security.

Why this helps

Content changes can reach release steps without a consistent validation pass.

  • Adds a repeatable validation gate
  • Protects production quality
  • Focuses checks on relevant documents

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Google Docs and Appdrag in Notis once.
  • 2Create an automation that calls the Appdrag preproduction POST function for each matching update.
  • 3Pick Document Search Update as the trigger and describe the search query.
  • 4Choose a report channel and test with one matching document.

Questions about this workflow

Does this run for both new and updated matches?

Yes. The trigger covers documents newly created or updated since the last poll that match the query.

Can the function return a validation summary?

Yes. Ask Notis to summarize the function result in the run report.
