Create Cal consultation calls from matching Google Docs
Let the right consultation documents create the next conversation automatically.
Trigger
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.
Action
Create phone call event
Schedules a phone call event in cal.com using existing eventtype, organization, and team ids; this action only registers the event details and does not initiate the actual phone call.
Why this helps
Consultation requests are easy to miss when they are captured in documents instead of a scheduling queue.
- Catch new consultation requests
- Reduce scheduling delay
- Create consistent call records

- 2Create an automation for consultation request documents.
- 3Tell Notis to identify qualifying requests and create the corresponding Cal phone call event from the supplied details.

- 5Test with one matching request document.
