Check BigML connector status after a brief is filled
A completed source brief can trigger an immediate connector status check.
Trigger
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.
Action
Get External Connector
Tool to retrieve details of an external connector. use after creating or listing external connectors to inspect its state.
Why this helps
Teams finish the brief but still need a separate lookup to confirm the connector state.
- Confirms connector state at handoff
- Reduces manual status checks
- Makes completion actionable
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Docs and BigML in Notis once.
- 2Create an automation for completed source briefs.
- 3Describe that when the placeholder is filled, Notis should retrieve the related BigML connector and report its state.
- 4Pick Document Placeholder Filled as the trigger and choose where reports go.
- 5Test by completing one source brief.
