Create Bitbucket repositories from new Google Docs

Start coding as soon as the project brief exists.

Trigger

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.

Action

Create repository

Creates a new bitbucket 'git' repository in a specified workspace, defaulting to the workspace's oldest project if `project key` is not provided.

Why this helps

New project ideas sit idle while someone manually creates the development workspace.

  • Removes setup delay
  • Keeps project intake consistent
  • Reduces context switching

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Google Docs and Bitbucket in Notis once.
  • 2Create an automation named New brief to repository.
  • 3Describe that each new project brief should create a Bitbucket repository with a suitable name and summary.
  • 4Pick New Document Created as the trigger and choose where run reports go.
  • 5Test with one real project brief.

Questions about this workflow

Can Notis choose the repository name?

Yes. Tell Notis how to derive a clear repository name from the document title and content.

What if the document is not a project brief?

Add that qualification to the instruction so Notis can skip unrelated documents.

Supported Triggers and Actions

Notis builds workflows that link Google Docs to Bitbucket. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.

Google Docs triggers

Bitbucket actions

Recurring trigger

Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.

TriggerScheduled

Create a branch

Creates a new branch in a bitbucket repository from a target commit hash; the branch name must be unique, adhere to bitbucket's naming conventions, and not include the 'refs/heads/' prefix.

TriggerPolling

Delete issue

Permanently deletes a specific issue, identified by its `issue id`, from the repository specified by `repo slug` within the given `workspace`.
