Launch staging builds from updated release documents
Keep staging fresh whenever the release document changes.
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
Start New Build
Tool to start a new build for an application with specified workflow and branch or tag. Use when you need to trigger a build programmatically. Either branch or tag parameter must be provided.
Why this helps
Teams forget to rebuild staging after an important document update.
- React to meaningful document updates
- Keep staging aligned with release notes
- Remove repetitive build requests
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Docs and Codemagic in Notis once.
- 2Create an automation for staging build requests.
- 3Tell Notis to inspect each matching document and start the requested Codemagic workflow.
- 4Pick Document Search Update as the trigger and select a report channel.
- 5Test with one updated release document.
Questions about this workflow
Which documents are monitored?
The trigger uses the search query you define for matching Google Docs.
Can it build a tag instead of a branch?
Yes, when the document supplies a valid tag and the Codemagic workflow accepts it.
