Turn matching document updates into tasks
Route the documents that matter into your execution system.
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 a task
Creates a new clickup task in a specific list, optionally as a subtask if a `parent` task id (which cannot be a subtask itself and must be in the same list) is provided.
Why this helps
Important updates are scattered across documents and require repeated scanning.
- Watch a focused document set
- Convert updates into decisions and tasks
- Reduce repetitive status checks
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Docs and ClickUp in Notis.
- 2Create an automation named Search update intake.
- 3Tell Notis to review matching documents and create a ClickUp task only when follow-up is needed.
- 4Pick Document Search Update as the trigger and choose a report channel.
- 5Test it with one matching document.
Questions about this workflow
Can I define the search query in plain language?
Yes. Provide the Google Docs search terms when you create the automation.
Will every update create a task?
Ask Notis to create tasks only for substantive changes or explicit action items.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Google Docs to Clickup. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Google Docs triggers
Clickup actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Add dependency
Adds a 'waiting on' or 'blocking' dependency to a task, requiring either `depends on` (task becomes waiting on) or `dependency of` (task becomes blocking), but not both; `team id` is required if `custom task ids` is true.
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Add guest to folder
Adds a guest to a folder with specified permissions; requires a clickup enterprise plan.
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.
Add guest to list
Shares a clickup list with an existing guest user, granting them specified permissions; requires the workspace to be on the clickup enterprise plan.
Document Deleted
Triggers when an existing Google Doc is deleted (moved to trash). This trigger monitors Google Docs and fires when documents are trashed.
Add guest to task
Assigns a guest to a task with specified permissions; requires clickup enterprise plan, and `team id` if `custom task ids` is true.
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.
Add tags from time entries
Associates a list of specified tags with one or more time entries within a given team (workspace).
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.
Add tag to task
Adds an existing tag to a specified task; team id is required if custom task ids is true.
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
Add task link
Links two existing and accessible clickup tasks, identified by `task id` (source) and `links to` (target).
Document Updated
Triggers when an existing Google Doc is updated or modified. This trigger monitors Google Docs and fires when documents are updated.
Add task to list
Adds an existing task to an additional clickup list; the "tasks in multiple lists" clickapp must be enabled in the workspace for this.
Connect any two apps with Notis in the middle.
Google Docs and Clickup, or any other combination from 1,000+ integrations.
