Start source discovery for every new initiative folder
Give a new initiative folder an immediate public web research kickoff.
Trigger
New Folder Created in Root
Triggers when a new folder is created in the root folder of Google Drive. This trigger monitors Google Drive and fires when new folders are detected in the root directory.
Action
Run Robot
This tool allows you to trigger the execution of a browseai robot on demand. the tool will run a specified robot with the provided parameters and return the task details. it requires a robot id and optional input parameters (such as url, search term, or other parameters) to configure the robot's execution. it is useful for: - starting robot executions programmatically - automating data collection tasks - triggering robots with custom parameters - integrating robot execution in workflows
Why this helps
New project spaces are created quickly, but initial market or source discovery is easy to postpone.
- Kick off discovery when an initiative begins
- Create a repeatable research starting point
- Reduce blank-page planning time
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Docs and Browse AI once in Notis.
- 2Create an automation that runs a source discovery robot for the new initiative.
- 3Pick New Folder Created in Root as the trigger and select a report destination.
- 4Test by creating one real root folder and reviewing the task.
Questions about this workflow
Does the trigger watch nested folders?
No. This event monitors new folders created in the root folder.
How does the robot know the topic?
Provide the initiative topic in the automation instruction or accepted robot inputs.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Google Docs to Browseai. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Google Docs triggers
Browseai actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Bulk Run Tasks
This action allows users to bulk run up to 50,000 tasks using a specified robot. it provides a post endpoint at /v2/robots/{robotid}/bulk-tasks and supports parameters such as robot id (required), title (required), and input parameters (required). this bulk operation is essential for large-scale data extraction.
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Create Monitor
This tool creates a new monitor for a specific robot in browse ai. it allows you to configure a monitor with a schedule (frequency and interval) for automatic execution, along with optional custom name and input parameters, enabling automated tracking of website changes.
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 Webhook
This tool creates a new webhook for a browseai robot. webhooks are used to receive notifications when tasks are completed or data changes are detected. the webhook will be called with the task details when specific events occur. it is useful for: - setting up automated notifications for task completion - receiving real-time updates when changes are detected - integrating browseai with your own systems - automating workflows based on robot task results the webhook can be configured to trigger on different events: - task.completed: when a task is successfully completed - task.failed: when a task fails - changes.detected: when changes are detected during monitoring
Document Deleted
Triggers when an existing Google Doc is deleted (moved to trash). This trigger monitors Google Docs and fires when documents are trashed.
Delete a specific monitor
This tool allows users to delete a specific monitor from their browse ai account. it uses the delete method and requires a valid monitor id.
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.
Delete a specific task
This tool allows you to delete a specific task in browseai by its task id. it is used for cleaning up completed or failed tasks, managing resources, and maintaining your task list.
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.
Get Robots List
This tool retrieves a list of all robots under your account in browse ai. each robot represents an automated task that can be trained to perform various web operations like opening webpages, logging in, clicking buttons, filling forms, extracting data, and monitoring changes. it is useful for: - getting an overview of all your automated tasks - checking the status of your robots - retrieving robot ids for use with other api endpoints - monitoring when robots were last updated or created
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
Get Robot Tasks
This tool retrieves all tasks associated with a specific robot in browse ai. it provides a paginated list of tasks with their details including status, input parameters, captured data, screenshots, and lists. it is useful for: - monitoring task execution status - retrieving captured data and screenshots - analyzing task execution history - debugging robot performance
Document Updated
Triggers when an existing Google Doc is updated or modified. This trigger monitors Google Docs and fires when documents are updated.
Get Task Details
This tool retrieves detailed information about a specific task in browse ai by its task id. it returns comprehensive details including the task's status, execution results, associated metadata, timestamps, and configuration. it complements existing tools by providing an in-depth view of individual task execution, including metadata and error details if applicable.
