Run Bugbug when a document keyword appears

A meaningful phrase can start the right test without another reminder.

Trigger

Triggers when a specific keyword or phrase first appears in a Google Doc. This trigger monitors a Google Doc and fires once when the specified keyword is detected. After the keyword is found, the trigger will not fire again until reset.

Action

Run test
