Turn updated specifications into Bitbucket issues
Keep implementation work aligned with the latest spec.
Trigger
Document Updated
Triggers when an existing Google Doc is updated or modified. This trigger monitors Google Docs and fires when documents are updated.
Action
Create an issue
Creates a new issue in a bitbucket repository, setting the authenticated user as reporter; ensures assignee (if provided) has repository access, and that any specified milestone, version, or component ids exist.
Why this helps
Engineering tasks become stale when specification changes are not translated into issues.
- Captures changes quickly
- Preserves source context
- Creates clear next actions
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Docs and Bitbucket in Notis once.
- 2Create an automation named Spec update to issue.
- 3Describe that meaningful specification changes should create a Bitbucket issue summarizing the change and acceptance notes.
- 4Pick Document Updated as the trigger and choose the report channel.
- 5Test with one edited specification.
Questions about this workflow
Will every edit create an issue?
Tell Notis to create an issue only when the change affects scope, behavior, or acceptance criteria.
Can the issue include the document link?
Yes. Ask Notis to include the source document link in the issue description.

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.
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.
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Create an issue
Creates a new issue in a bitbucket repository, setting the authenticated user as reporter; ensures assignee (if provided) has repository access, and that any specified milestone, version, or component ids exist.
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.
Create an issue comment
Adds a new comment with markdown support to an existing bitbucket issue.
Document Deleted
Triggers when an existing Google Doc is deleted (moved to trash). This trigger monitors Google Docs and fires when documents are trashed.
Create a pull request
Creates a new pull request in a specified bitbucket repository, ensuring the source branch exists and is distinct from the (optional) destination branch.
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.
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.
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.
Create snippet comment
Posts a new top-level comment or a threaded reply to an existing comment on a specified bitbucket snippet.
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
Delete issue
Permanently deletes a specific issue, identified by its `issue id`, from the repository specified by `repo slug` within the given `workspace`.
Document Updated
Triggers when an existing Google Doc is updated or modified. This trigger monitors Google Docs and fires when documents are updated.
Delete repository
Permanently deletes a specified bitbucket repository; this action is irreversible and does not affect forks.
