Create BigML connectors from structured document changes
When the data plan changes shape, prepare the connector that supports it.
Trigger
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
Action
Create External Connector
Tool to create a new external connector for data sources. use after configuring external databases or search indices.
Why this helps
A revised data brief can require a new connector, but the infrastructure update gets overlooked.
- Links document structure changes to data setup
- Reduces manual connector requests
- Keeps infrastructure aligned with planning documents
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Docs and BigML in Notis once.
- 2Create an automation for revised data source briefs.
- 3Describe that a structural change should create a BigML external connector when the updated brief identifies a new source.
- 4Pick Document Structure Changed as the trigger and choose where reports go.
- 5Test with one real structural edit.
Questions about this workflow
What structural changes are supported?
The trigger monitors changes such as headers, footers, tables, and images.
Will every structural edit create a connector?
The instruction can tell Notis to create one only when the changed brief identifies a new external data source.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Google Docs to Bigml. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Google Docs triggers
Bigml actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Create External Connector
Tool to create a new external connector for data sources. use after configuring external databases or search indices.
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Create Project
Tool to create a new project. use when you need to group related bigml resources into a project.
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.
Delete Project
Tool to delete an existing project. use when you need to permanently remove a project resource after confirming it is not in use by other resources.
Document Deleted
Triggers when an existing Google Doc is deleted (moved to trash). This trigger monitors Google Docs and fires when documents are trashed.
Get External Connector
Tool to retrieve details of an external connector. use after creating or listing external connectors to inspect its state.
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.
Get Project
Tool to retrieve details of a project by id. use when you need to inspect project metadata before analysis.
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.
List Correlations
Tool to list correlation resources. use when you need to browse or paginate existing correlations for the authenticated user.
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
Document Updated
Triggers when an existing Google Doc is updated or modified. This trigger monitors Google Docs and fires when documents are updated.
