Pair new Drive folders with Baserow table discovery
A new folder is a natural moment to identify the tables that will run its work.
Trigger
New Folder Created in Root
Triggers when a new folder is created in the root folder of Google Drive. This trigger monitors Google Drive and fires when new folders are detected in the root directory.
Action
List Tables in Database
This tool lists all tables within a specified baserow database. it allows users to retrieve information about all tables in a database by using the get /api/database/{database id}/tables/ endpoint. the expected output is an array of table objects containing details such as id, name, order, database id, type, and first row header.
Why this helps
Folder creation is easy, but the supporting operational table is often chosen much later.
- Start projects with clearer structure
- Reduce setup decisions later
- Keep folder and data planning connected

- 1Connect Google Docs and Baserow in Notis once.
- 2Create an automation that uses the new folder context and lists tables in the specified Baserow database.
- 3Pick New Folder Created in Root as the trigger.
- 4Choose a report channel and test by creating one temporary root folder.

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.
Document Deleted
Triggers when an existing Google Doc is deleted (moved to trash). This trigger monitors Google Docs and fires when documents are trashed.
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.
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.
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
