Create a Basin alert when a keyword appears

A single phrase can start the right notification path without waiting for a manual review.

Trigger

Keyword Detected in Document

Triggers when a specific keyword or phrase first appears in a Google Doc. This trigger monitors a Google Doc and fires once when the specified keyword is detected. After the keyword is found, the trigger will not fire again until reset.

Action

Create Notification

Tool to create a new notification webhook. use when you need to forward form submissions to an external service.

Why this helps

Critical words can appear in a busy Doc and go unnoticed until the opportunity has passed.

  • React to important language quickly
  • Reduce document monitoring overhead
  • Create a consistent alert path

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Google Docs and Basin in Notis once.
  • 2Create an automation named Keyword to Basin alert.
  • 3Tell Notis to identify the configured keyword context and create the Basin notification webhook described in the document.
  • 4Pick Keyword Detected in Document as the trigger.
  • 5Choose a report channel and test with one real keyword occurrence.

Questions about this workflow

Does the keyword trigger repeat forever?

The source trigger fires once until it is reset, as defined by event 9139.

Can the workflow create alerts for multiple destinations?

Only when the document clearly specifies the destinations and the action supports them.
