Review pipeline context when a proposal draft is substantial
A measurable draft milestone can prompt a quick pipeline check before more work piles up.
Trigger
Document Word Count Threshold
Triggers when a Google Doc's word/character count crosses a user-defined threshold. This trigger monitors a specific Google Doc and fires when its word or character count becomes greater than or equal to the configured threshold value.
Action
Get Proposal Count
Tool to retrieve the total count of proposals. use when you need to know how many proposals exist.
Why this helps
Long drafts often signal a major opportunity, but the wider proposal pipeline stays out of view.
- Adds context at a natural milestone
- Highlights pipeline volume
- Supports better prioritization
