Check Brex transactions after a finance doc is deleted

When a finance document disappears, quickly check the related spend before closing the loop.

Trigger

Document Deleted

Triggers when an existing Google Doc is deleted (moved to trash). This trigger monitors Google Docs and fires when documents are trashed.

Action

Get Transactions by Description

Get transactions filtered by description text.

Why this helps

Deleted notes can hide unresolved spend context or an accidental cleanup.

  • Adds a recovery checkpoint
  • Finds related transactions quickly
  • Reduces unresolved cleanup

  • 1Connect Google Docs and Brex in Notis once.
  • 2Create an automation for deleted finance documents.
  • 3Describe the document context and transaction description to search.
  • 4Pick Document Deleted as the trigger and choose a report channel.
  • 5Test it with a controlled document deletion.

Questions about this workflow

Can the deleted document be recovered?

This workflow searches Brex transactions; it does not restore the Google Doc.

How does the search find related activity?

Provide the relevant merchant or description text in your instruction so Notis can run the Brex description search.
