Cancel a Calendly event when a document marks it complete
Close the loop when the document says the meeting no longer needs to happen.
Trigger
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.
Action
Cancel event
Permanently cancels an existing, active scheduled event by its `uuid`, optionally providing a `reason`, which may trigger notifications to invitees.
